Benedikt Boucsein

Prof. Benedikt Boucsein is a Professor of Urban Design at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), affiliated with the TUM School of Engineering and Design. His research focuses on urban planning frameworks, communal housing, urban mobility transformation, and noise landscapes in airport peripheries. He holds a doctorate from ETH Zurich (2008) and has extensive experience in architectural practice through his firm BHSF Architects. Boucsein is a member of the German Academy for Urban and Regional Planning and regularly participates in architectural competitions.

Academic career highlights include teaching and research at ETH Zurich (2007–2017), founding the architecture journal Camenzind, and leading projects like The Noise Landscape exploring airport-city dynamics. His work bridges theoretical urban studies with practical design interventions, emphasizing sustainability and participatory approaches.

Publications span urban history (e.g., Graue Architektur), climate-responsive design, and acoustic analysis in landscape architecture. Boucsein’s current projects address the climate emergency’s impact on urban education and mobility innovations, reflecting his commitment to urgent global challenges.
