ABOUT

ThinkArchitecture is a London and Vienna based practice co-founded by Peter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer.

ThinkArchitecture generates dialogues and relational structures through workshops, exhibitions and public debates. Combining a diverse set of disciplines and approaches, including architecture, art and theory, ThinkArchitecture develops tools for critical spatial engagement. Its projects investigate urban space and geopolitical processes through a range of architectural and artistic media, including design, photography, film, intervention and critical writing.
