Susanne Brorson - Island Ecologies
Lecture from Susanne Brorson, who is the current visiting professor at the Institute for Art and Architecture. In her lecture she will talk about experiments in research, teaching and practice. Part of the Lecture Series S2025.
Born in Stralsund, Germany, she received her diploma in architecture from the Bauhaus University in Weimar in 2004, with further studies at the University of the Arts in Berlin and the Politecnico in Milan, Italy. After working in renowned architectural offices in Oslo, London and Berlin, she founded her own award-winning practice STUDIO SUSANNE BRORSON on the Baltic island of Rügen, Germany. The work of her practice is closely connected to her research on climate and regenerative architecture in the Baltic Sea region. The 'Eco Village Rügen' received the German Design Award 2022 in the category 'Excellent Architecture, Eco Design' and the BDA Award 2024, while the 'Experimental House Rügen' was awarded the BDA Award 2021 and the Callwey Award / Best Houses in 2024. Already in 2017, Susanne established the teaching format 'Baltic Vernacular - Experimental Laboratory', which she taught at various architecture schools, involving design research and 1:1 experimentation. Susanne has published and lectured internationally, with guest professorships at RISEBA University Riga, HafenCity University Hamburg and University degli studi RomaTRE, Italy. Her contribution 'Seasonal Wall Dressing' was part of the exhibition '+/-1 - in search of well-tempered architecture' at the Slovenian Pavilion at the 18th Architecture Biennale in Venice in 2023, and her exhibition 'Seasonal Spontaneousness' was shown at Galerie Weissenhof in Stuttgart in 2024 and Galleri SPARK in Malmö in 2025. Susanne was awarded the German Rome Prize for Architecture 2023/24 at the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome, Italy.
