Anne Katrin Burghartz
EPFL is pleased to welcome Anne Katrin Burghartz (schlaich bergermann partner, Berlin) for a keynote lecture on her work at the intersection of art and structure. This talk is free and open to all.
Anne K. Burghartz has been a structural engineer and project manager at the Berlin office of schlaich bergermann partner since 2016. She studied civil engineering at TU Berlin with a focus on structural engineering. At sbp she has worked on bridges, buildings, pedestrian bridges, art installations, and lightweight and membrane structures, and from 2023 to 2025 she helped develop the concap floor system, which received the Innovation Award from the German Sustainable Building Council in 2026. Her practice also runs along the boundary between engineering and art: she was the structural engineer for Christo and Jeanne-Claude's wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris in 2021.
The lecture is part of the Design Modelling Symposium 2026, which brings together keynotes and research discussions on the shifting relationship between designers and intelligent machines across materials, people, and responsibility. Registration for the full symposium is available at the link.
