Sandra Karina Löschke is an Associate Professor and Director of Architecture Design and Technology at the University of Sydney. Her research investigates links between aesthetics, design and technology in museum and exhibition architecture from the 1920s to the present, and focuses on how these linkages played a significant role in progressing new disciplinary paradigms, which expanded the culture of architectural knowledge at its interfaces with art and science. Her work includes case studies, design projects, prototyping and exhibitions and endeavours to engage theoretical and historical frame works with the reality of contemporary architectural design practice.
As an architect, her projects include award-winning cultural buildings such as the Pinkothek der Moderne (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Munich for Stephan Braunfels and the British Film Institute at Waterloo/London for Avery Associates. Her work for Foster and Partners in London specialized in the research & development of innovative glass facades in close collaboration with industry, including extensive 1:1 prototyping in engagement with façade manufacturers (Gartner GmbH/Permasteelisa); and with glass artist James Carpenter. Her own work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale and subsequent exhibitions in Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney amongst others. She studied architecture at the Bartlett/UCL, the Architectural Association London and UNSW. Sandra has convened international symposia and edited journals and books on the topic of material aesthetics and technology, bringing together her research interests in architectural design & practice, and the history & theory of art and architecture.
