Dr. Ferdinand Ludwig

Ferdinand Ludwig is a professor of Green Technologies in Landscape Architecture at the Technical University of Munich. He studied architecture and received his doctorate in “Botanical Foundations of Baubotanik and their Application in Design” from the University of Stuttgart. 

His research and practice focus on architectural concepts in which plants play a central role. Their functional and conceptual integration not only provides answers to the pressing ecological questions of our time, such as adaptation to climate change, It also poses a methodological challenge as to how aspects of growth and decay, chance and probability can be dealt with in design.
