Dominik Neidlinger

Dominik Neidlinger is an Associate Professor (Reader) at École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Strasbourg (ENSAS), part of the University of Strasbourg. As a practicing architect-urban planner with Franco-German expertise, he bridges academia and professional practice through leadership roles including:

• Co-founding ZNAA Architects and ERANTHIS landscape practice
• Directing the Franco-German Double Master ENSAS-KIT program
• Serving on ENSAS's Board of Directors since 2012
• Membership in AMUP research unit and Hochschullabor network

His research examines urban transformation through three interconnected lenses:

• Urban project dynamics: Stakeholder engagement and land development processes
• Post-industrial landscapes: 21st-century adaptation of former industrial zones
• Housing systems: Architectural production and socio-spatial practices in urban contexts, particularly in the Upper Rhine region

His publications demonstrate consistent focus on cross-border urbanism, with recent works analyzing Franco-German territories through comparative case studies and design workshops. Research outputs frequently engage with industrial heritage reconversion, housing policy impacts, and territorial identity in transitional landscapes.

Neidlinger maintains active professional affiliations including Eco-quartier Strasbourg and European House of Architecture - Upper Rhine, reflecting his commitment to sustainable urban development. His pedagogical approach integrates live projects from these networks into studio teaching.
