Julian joins MPDA for an inspiring review on the topic of Form Finding by Frei Otto in the context of Studio2 building system design.
He completed his doctorate summa cum laude with his dissertation on bending-active structures at the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design, University of Stuttgart. His scientific interest in the principles of lightweight structures goes along with various real­ized building- experimental structures and prototypes along his academic and professional career. In 2008, Julian co-founded the engineering and design practice studioLD now str.ucture GmbH. Previously, he worked as a Structural Engineer at Knippers- Helbig and SL-Rasch in Stuttgart.
