He received his master's degree in architecture in 2006 and Studio Schwitalla has grown into a small, agile team of international designers, researchers and scientists: 'We enjoy blurring the boundaries between urban design and architecture, working between the two disciplines allows us to see cities as three-dimensional structures and buildings as urban environments. Future urban mobility is the driving passion at Studio Schwitalla. Research partners include multinational mobility experts such as Schindler Aufzüge AG and Audi AG.
