Aachen

Lea Schwab finished her bachelor degree in architecture at the RWTH Aachen university in 2018. In her thesis she worked on the „Incompiuto Siciliano“, never finished concrete buildings in Italy, which especially shape the existing landscape in Sicily. Subsequently she worked as an intern for the architecture and urbanism office Zuloark in Spain from 2019 until 2020, embracing different tasks including research and design work, such as participation in spatial competitions. She also gained further experience working in building constructions for the company Cad Cabin. Finally, Lea is taking part in the Master programme „Transforming City Regions“ at the Chair and Institute of Urban Design and European Urbanism at the faculty of architecture at RWTH Aachen university. As part of her studies, this research work about the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area was developed by her and the other authors in her third semester of the master studies. Currently Lea is working for an interdisciplinary program that advocates the spatial protection of coastlines in Spain and Chile, before writing her Master thesis in September 2021.
