Dr. Mara Trübenbach has extensive experience in architecture, design education, international practice-based research, and curatorial work. Her approach connects design, theory, and social questions—especially in relation to materiality and the social responsibility of design. She is particularly interested in how emotional and ethical dimensions can be more deeply anchored in design education. Through the research workshop, Mara aims to expand her inquiry into how performativity shapes and informs architectural design practices.
