Before that, he studied at MSA, ETH Zurich, and in the Studio Kazuyo Sejima in Vienna. He is a co-founder of an.dersURANIA and Architects4THF, and is engaged with the initiative “HouseEurope!”.

Residency
Acting under the title DYMAXION, Malte Wilms works at the intersection of spatial experimentation and systemic research, examining how architecture responds to changing ecological and technological conditions. His research practice unfolds through the development of experimental prototypes—grounded in exploratory methods, analytical investigations, and in-depth studies. Malte Wilm’s research focuses on concepts of thermal comfort across architecture, technology, and art. From this perspective, he seeks to reveal the hidden and parallel realities that shape our time.
