There is a pictorial rationality as there is a rationality of a painter’s work, rationality not of completion but of ‘investigation’. 

— Merleau-Ponty, The Institution of a Work of Art, 1954–55, 48.

 

Sophie Ramm approaches architecture with theoretical, artistic and performative optics. She is a university assistant and doctoral candidate at the research unit of architecture theory and philosophy of techniques (ATTP) at the TU Vienna. She has been a member of the painting class of Karin Kneffel at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Before, she studied architecture at the UTFSM in Valparaíso, at the Technion in Haifa and at the Technical University of Munich, where she graduated with a Master's degree in 2019. She gained experience at RCR Arquitectes in Olot, worked for FAM Architekten in Munich and for the DFG Project Das Digitale Bild. She is a member of the architecture collective PointOfNoReturn. Since 2025, she has been Coeditor of the Journal for Architectonics at ATTP, TU Vienna. Her research explores investigative rationality and analogical thinking, translating figural painting techniques into architectonic cases.
