Andreas Kofler is an architect-urbanist, freelance writer and curator. He regularly writes for 'L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui', is an associate professor at the E.N.S.A.Versailles and the curator of the Swiss Architecture Museum (SAM) in Basel. Originally from Italy’s German-speaking province of South Tyrol, he graduated from the Technical University of Vienna in 2005. He then worked for numerous offices, such as Rem Koolhaas’s OMA/AMO, l’AUC and Dominique Perrault, before co-founding Weltgebraus in 2013 with Marcello Tavone (ON CITIES).

His curatorial projects include 'Japanese architectures in Paris, 1867–2017', the first exhibition about the Italian architect Armando Ronca, 'Dichtelust – Forms of Urban Coexistence in Switzerland', all accompanied by homonymous publications.
