Alexa Bodammer

Alexa Bodammer serves as Lecturer and Project Manager at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) within the School of Social Work's Institute for Sociocultural Development. Her professional profile integrates academic teaching with practical project leadership in urban research, spatial development, and participatory planning methodologies since 2015.

Her educational foundation includes a Master's degree in European Urban Cultures (Manchester, Brussels, Helsinki, Tilburg), a Diploma in Engineering and Architecture from Berlin University of the Arts, and specialized certifications in Governance & Leadership (University of Basel) and didactics (HSLU). Professional development spans roles at TU Dresden's Görlitz Competence Center (2004-2013) and the Heinrich Böll Foundation (2003-2004).

Bodammer's research centers on integrated urban development through socio-spatial lenses, emphasizing participatory processes and building culture. She investigates internal urban transformation dynamics, co-evolutionary development strategies, and social sustainability in high-density housing. Her work bridges theoretical urban research with practical implementation in Swiss municipal contexts, particularly through the Wakkerpreis evaluation framework.

Recent publications (2021-2023) reveal concentrated expertise in building culture assessment, inner urban development, and high-rise housing sustainability. Key thematic clusters include Wakkerpreis policy analysis (50-year evaluation), participatory energy planning (SWEET Lantern project), and socio-spatial monitoring systems. These outputs demonstrate methodological consistency in combining empirical analysis with community engagement frameworks.

She actively contributes to professional practice through Glarus North Design Commission membership, co-presidency of the Women's Network and SIA, and Burgdorf's Building and Outdoor Space Design Committee. Major research projects include QUBE energy cooperatives, Rigi cultural heritage tourism, and LuzernSüd socio-spatial analysis, reflecting her commitment to transdisciplinary urban solutions.
