Andreas Hild

Prof. Andreas Hild is a Full Professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) within the TUM School of Engineering and Design since 2013. His academic career includes visiting professorships at universities such as TU Darmstadt, Graz University of Technology, and the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts. His research focuses on urban design, historic building preservation, and sustainable adaptive reuse of structures. Key projects include the 'ETICS Modulation' study on thermal insulation systems and the 'our.house' initiative for sustainable housing transformation. He has received notable awards including the 2012 Architecture Prize of Munich and the 1999 German Critics' Prize.

Education: Diploma in Architecture from TU Munich (1989), studies at ETH Zurich. Professional practice: Co-founded Hild and Kaltwasser office (1992) and later Hild and K Architects (1999). Active in professional bodies like the Munich Urban Design Commission and Zurich's Building College since 2014.

Research interests emphasize urban renewal through contextual design, balancing new construction with historical integrity. Projects like 'Neuperlach ist schön' highlight community-focused urban revitalization. His work integrates thermal recording methods for building exterior analysis, as seen in the 2013 'ZukunftBau' report.

Publications span architectural theory, preservation techniques, and case studies in adaptive reuse. Recent research explores solar strategies for urban densification and innovative housing models. His design philosophy bridges craftsmanship with contemporary sustainability goals.
