August Schmidt is an Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture and Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His work focuses on experimental architecture, sustainable design, and interdisciplinary collaborations blending art and urban interventions. He leads projects emphasizing circular ethics, material innovation, and community engagement. Key initiatives include full-scale installations, workshops, and public art exhibitions such as Felles/skap/skip and Exploding windows. His research spans temporary structures, material experimentation, and pedagogical approaches to architectural practice.

Notable projects include the Threads of Innovation initiative exploring textile and spatial installations, and collaborations with institutions like Trøndelag Senter for Samtidskunst (TSSK). Schmidt's work often involves student participation in hands-on building activities, such as the Badehus/sauna Brekstad project and Layers of Permanence workshops. His exhibitions frequently merge architecture with performance art, as seen in the Hannah Ryggen Triennale interventions.
