Erica Hörteborn

Doctor at Architectural theory and methods

Erica Hörteborn has a Ph.D, a MSc in Structural Engineering and is a licenced Architect. Her research focus, mainly, on wind and textile, in architecture. “Can we, with textiles, create architecture that can use wind and benefit from it?”
in the intersection of architecture, structural engineering and art, she is working in an explorative and creative way, with form, material and production methods, as well as mathematical sketching, simulations and physical prototypes.
