Melanie Fessel
Melanie was born in Germany. She studied at TU Berlin and ETSAB in Barcelona. She has worked for years in both Switzerland and New York. Her projects are about identity, belonging and alienation, which seek to visualize social and cultural encounters in an increasingly globalized state. Melanie explores how behavioral patterns and cultural traditions are reflected in our environment and how globalization affects national aesthetics in design approaches. Her process focuses on the synergy of architecture, urban design, and ecological science. Her design studio; Open Network Ecology Odyssey, integrates ecological issues in the urban environment. Ecology in design is not only a notion that inspires directives of sustainability and social depth, but also a focused technical venture.
