Günther H. Filz is a Professor of Lightweight Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Innsbruck, Austria, where he heads the Lightweight Structure unit. He is also a Professor of Structures and Architecture at Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland. His interest has especially been on the profound changes that selforganizing forms and processes - from minimal surfaces to bending active structures - instigate in the way architecture is thought, designed and built. His “fat-free-design” approach results in intelligent, innovative and sustainable lightweight structures.

University Lecturer, Aalto university, Department of Civil Engineering, Structures – Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation

Architect and Structural Engineer with doctoral studies in energy-based seismic design of tall buildings (2018, TU Delft). Broad experience in architectural education integrating structural design and building technology subjects. He began his academic career as lecturer at the School of Architecture of the Universidad Catolica del Norte in 2001 (Chile), in parallel with professional activities as Architect. Between 2008 - 2010, he worked as structural engineer after completing master studies in Seismic Engineering (U. Mayor, Chile). In 2011, he continued his academic career as Ph.D. researcher and lecturer at TU Delft, the Netherlands. In 2014, he joined the Faculty of Architecture at Yaşar University. His current research interests are the application of topology optimized structures in architectural design and the fostering of computational morphogenesis of structures in architecture.

Ich untersuche Pflanzenzellbiologie und konzentriere mich auf abiotische Stresstoleranz. Eine der Schlüsselfragen meiner Forschung ist, wie Pflanzen aus ihren ursprünglichen aquatischen Lebensräumen das Land erobert haben. Dieser Prozess wird als Terrestrisierung bezeichnet. Meine Forschungsinteressen liegen in den Bereichen Austrocknung, Licht- und UV-Toleranz. Hauptforschungsobjekte sind Grünalgen der streptophytischen Linie (Schwester zu Landpflanzen), aber auch Land- und symbiotische Algen, sowie höhere Pflanzen aus Alpinen- und Polaren Regionen werden als Modelle verwendet.
