Christiane M. Herr; Germany, Taiwan

Christiane M. Herr is an architect, researcher and teacher focusing on the areas of digitally supported designing, conceptual design, design studio teaching and traditional Chinese approaches to creative thinking. After working and studying in Germany, Australia, Hong Kong and China, she is currently teaching architecture at NCKU in Taiwan. In her PhD work, Christiane has explored cellular automata as a means to establish architectural design support, which led to her strong interest in diagrams and designerly ways of seeing. Based on this interest, she became fascinated with constructivist ideas and ways of describing how design processes can be thought of as conversations.
