Séverine Marguin

Séverine Marguin serves as Deputy Professor for Spatial Sociology and Interdisciplinary Spatial Research at HafenCity University Hamburg, with significant research collaborations at Technische Universität Berlin through the CRC 1265 'Refiguration of Spaces'. She also contributes as Joint Executive Editor of the British Journal Architecture and Culture.

Her interdisciplinary research spans:

• Cultural and spatial sociology
• Nature-culture relationships
• Experimental and design-based methodologies
• Sociological analysis of fictional spaces

Current projects include a DFG-funded study on West-African television dramas ('Afronovelas') examining spatial storytelling, and a seed-funded initiative on botanical gardens developing spacetime mapping techniques at the sociology-architecture intersection. Her work emphasizes professional agency in urban futures and value transformations in design contexts.

While no specific scientific awards are documented in available sources, her DFG funding signifies peer-recognized research quality. She actively supervises urban design projects at HCU, including thesis presentations and value-focused initiatives like 'Dirt-Cheap! Reclaiming Value Transformations'.

Her research group operates without a formal lab name but engages in interdisciplinary spatial analysis, particularly through the CRC 1265 collaboration and HCU's urban design curriculum.
