Michael Wallraff
Michael Wallraff studied scenery design at the Academy of Fine Arts and architecture at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, as well as at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. Since 1997, he has worked independently in Vienna, Munich, and Los Angeles. His Vienna-based architecture office, established in 2004, has been active in a wide range of fields—including urban planning, adaptations, conversions, extensions, new buildings, stage design, exhibitions, furniture, and everyday cultural objects.
In addition to receiving the Schütte-Lihotzky Fellowship (1998) and the Schindler Fellowship (1999), Wallraff was awarded funding from the City of Vienna’s “departure” program in 2009. He has also received numerous competition prizes, including first prize in the EU-wide, two-stage open competition for the State Vocational School Center Graz-St. Peter (2007). A solo exhibition of his work opened in October 2011 at the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art in Vienna.
