Design Theory 2017-2020
Otto Paans studied horticulture and gardening in the Netherlands, followed by landscape architecture at the Erasmushogeschool Brussel (BE). Subsequently, he studied urban/public space design at the Utrecht School of the Arts and the Utrecht Graduate School for Visual Art and Design (NL) where he graduated cum laude in 2012. Furthermore, he studied philosophy at the Open University (UK), where he graduated with distinction in 2017. Upon completion of his urban design studies, he worked as a landscape designer. He has collaborated in several European FP7 and H2020 projects in fields as diverse as urban design, circular building, renewable energy, resource recycling, medical science, material science, and product design as concept developer, visual designer and dissemination manager. In 2014 he published the monograph Situational Urbanism (Berlin: JOVIS Verlag, 2014) together with Prof.
Ralf Pasel, followed by numerous articles on design theory and philosophy. In 2020, he received his PhD (titled Creating Knowledge Through Architectural Design) summa cum laude from the Technische Universität Berlin. This dissertation provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical body of work that explores the epistemic potentials of Research Through Design. Currently, he works as concept developer/spatial strategist, visual designer and philosopher. Ralf Pasel is professor for architecture at the Technische Universität Berlin and heading the Chair for Architectural Design and Construction Technologies since 2012. Previous he was following several international Guest Professor roles (amongst others) at the Universidad Catolica de Santiago de Chile and the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design in the Netherlands. In 2009 he was the curator of the ‘Parallel Cases’ exhibition at the 4th International Architecture Biennale in Rotterdam. Ralf Pasel is the founding partner of pasel.künzel architects Rotterdam and of Pasel-K architects Berlin. Focusing on experimental housing typologies and construction in an international context, the office explores the intersection between research, academic education and architecture in practice. The practice has received numerous awards for innovative housing strategies, including the International Bauhaus Award for the transformation of slum housing in Chile as well as for new types of urban housing in Germany and the Netherlands.
