Alumni
Ursula Frick is an architect with strong interest in computational design and digital fabrication. From 2014 to 2017 Ursula was a researcher within the NCCR DFAB at the Block Research Group where she investigated the development of generative structures, implementing and evaluating the physical matter of a design. Her strong interest in this field and in the development of geometric and computational methods to erect spatial figurations for architecture led her to continue work in industry. From 2017 to 2024 Ursula was the Head of Advanced Geometry and Parametric Planning at Blumer Lehmann.
Since January 2025 she is now a Senior Consultant at Design-to-Production.
