## 👤 Profile

### Overview
Michael Hansmeyer is a computational architect exploring the intersection of algorithmic design, fabrication, and aesthetic complexity. His work asks: *What forms lie beyond our current imagination — and can we teach machines to help us build them?* Through his architectural practice, Hansmeyer challenges traditional notions of ornament, tectonics, and structure, using code as his material and computation as his lens.

He is known for pioneering uses of generative processes, robotic construction, and high-resolution modeling in built architecture. His projects include the White Tower in Switzerland, the Digital Grotesque series of 3D-printed grottos, and the Subdivided Columns featured in museum collections around the world.

### Education & Experience
- Master of Architecture, Columbia University (New York)
- MBA, INSEAD (France)
- Lecturer at ETH Zurich, Chair for Computer-Aided Architectural Design (CAAD)
- Professional experience at Herzog & de Meuron, McKinsey & Company, J.P. Morgan

Hansmeyer’s projects span continents and media — from permanent architectural installations to opera stage sets and academic research papers. His work bridges art and science, math and myth, digital abstraction and material reality.

## 🏛️ White Tower / Tor Alva

**Link:** [https://michael-hansmeyer.com/white-tower](https://michael-hansmeyer.com/white-tower)

### Project Summary
The White Tower is the tallest 3D-printed building in the world, located in the Alpine village of Mulegns, Switzerland. Commissioned by Fundaziun Origen, the structure is designed as a performance space and architectural icon — blending computational ornament with structural innovation.

### Architecture
The tower’s spatial logic is defined by 32 algorithmically generated columns, each with a triple-layered shell structure. The internal column geometry is optimized for acoustics, vertical load transfer, and visual immersion, forming a circular theater cupola above.

### Fabrication
Built from soft concrete using robotic extrusion, the tower demonstrates new methods of vertical printing and high-fidelity material resolution. Each column was prefabricated off-site, reinforced with embedded steel, then transported and assembled in the Swiss Alps with millimeter precision.

### Research
The design and fabrication processes were developed in collaboration with ETH Zurich. Topics included generative form finding, topology optimization, and path planning for robotic deposition.
