Hey, I’m Sven Quadflieg - I work in the field of design (›quadflieg.studio), design research and design theory.
I studied design and visual communication at the Folkwang University of the Arts (Essen, Germany) and the Zurich University of the Arts (Switzerland) and as a designer I have worked mainly in the socio-cultural field. I am currently a professor at HSHL, having previously taught at the University of Wuppertal, Münster University of Applied Sciences, Ecosign and the Folkwang Folkwang University of the Arts.
My research interests are the dependencies between design and society, political design and transformative design. I have researched and published on informal architecture, social design and political design. Currently I am particularly interested in design in the context of artificial intelligence.
