Encyclopedia
Andreas Vogler is a Swiss architect
and designer
.
. After several semesters of studies in Art History and Literature Vogler worked as an interior designer with Alinea AG in Basel. In 1988–1994 he studied architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule) in Zurich spending one exchange semester at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence (RISD) in the United States and graduated with a diploma project for an energy-independent, pre-fabricated Weather Station on the Weissfluhjoch/Arosa. In 1995 he worked for Ingenhoven Architekten Christoph Ingenhoven in Düsseldorf, and from 1995 to 1996 for Richard Horden Associates, now Horden Cherry Lee Architects in London. Later he became teaching and research assistant at the institute of Professor Richard Horden at the Technical University of Munich
until 2002. There he was teaching microarchitecture and initiated and led several design studios for aerospace architecture aerospace architecture
, focusing on habitability on board the International Space Station
, and on studies for future habitats on Mars
together with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA
. The students involved were able to test their prototypes in parabolic test flights at NASA Johnson Space Center. During the time at the Technical University of Munich
Vogler published several papers about space architecture and submitted several prize-winning architectural competitions. In 2003–2005 he worked as Guest Professor at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen researching on prefabricated housing. In 2004 he taught at The University of Hong Kong
. In 2005- 2006 he was part of the Concept House research group at the Delft University of Technology
.
In 2002 Vogler started to collaborate with the Italian architect, Arturo Vittori
, with whom he founded in 2003 Architecture and Vision
, an international and multidisciplinary studio working in architecture
and design
, engaged in the development of innovative solutions and technology transfer
between diverse fields for aerospace
and terrestrial applications. In 2006, a prototype of the extreme environment tent, DesertSeal (2004), became part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, after being featured in SAFE: Design Takes on Risk (2005), curated by Paola Antonelli. In the same year, the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago selected Vogler and Vittori as "Modern-day Leonardo's" for its Leonardo da Vinci
: Man, Inventor, Genius exhibition. In 2007, a model of the inflatable habitat MoonBaseTwo (2007), developed to allow long-term exploration on the Moon
, was acquired for the collection of the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago in Chicago while MarsCruiserOne (2007), the design for a pressurized laboratory rover for human Mars exploration, was shown at the Centre Georges Pompidou
in Paris, as part of the exhibition "Airs de Paris" (2007).
Vogler has spoken at numerous international conferences on the topics of aerospace architecture
and technology transfer
to architecture and sustainability
in architecture. He organized international conference sessions and led workshops on a variety of related themes. In 2008 he and Vittori taught an undergraduate course in Industrial Design at the University of Rome La Sapienza
and the University Iuav of Venice. He is a member of the Bavarian Chamber of Architects (ByAK- Bayerische Architektenkammer), the Deutscher Werkbund
