About
Kristina Schinegger is a pioneering architectural theorist and educator whose work redefines the relationship between computational design, material systems, and architectural form. Her research centers on the concept of "becoming structure," a framework that challenges static notions of building by exploring how dynamic, generative processes can shape architectural assemblies. In her seminal paper, "Becoming Structure" (2019), Schinegger articulates a design methodology where structure emerges not from predetermined plans but from the interplay of material behaviors, digital simulations, and environmental forces. Though early in its citation history (2 citations), this work has already influenced emerging discourse in computational architecture, particularly within the context of non-standard tectonics and adaptive building systems. As a co-founder of the acclaimed practice soma architecture, Schinegger has translated these theoretical insights into built works and installations that blur the boundaries between architecture, engineering, and digital fabrication. Her contributions have been recognized through international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, and through her role as a professor at the University of Innsbruck, where she shapes a new generation of architects to think beyond conventional structural paradigms.
