Daniela Mitterberger Email & Phone Number

Daniela Mitterberger I Daniela Mitterberger is an architect and researcher working at the intersection of new media, human interaction, digital fabrication, and emerging technologies. Mitterberger is an Assistant Professor at Princeton University, where she develops advanced computational methods for enabling human-machine collaboration through adaptive digital fabrication and extended reality. Her lab, XAIA, focuses on extended augmentation in architecture. Mitterberger is the lead developer of COMPAS XR, an open-source computational framework for extended reality and robotics in architecture, engineering and digital fabrication. Mitterberger received her doctoral degree at ETH Zurich (Dr. sc.) in 2023 on “Adaptive digital fabrication and human-machine collaboration for architecture”. In 2023, she worked as a senior scientist at ETH Zurich and within the Design++ initiative. There she was the Co-lead of the Immersive Design Lab, a lab for collaborative research and teaching in the field of extended reality and machine learning in architecture and construction. She has previously been appointed and lectured in several international graduate and postgraduate programs, amongst others, at the MSD in Melbourne, UniSA in Adelaide, the University of Applied Arts and Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, the University of Innsbruck, ETH Zurich, Tongji University in Shanghai, and IACC in Barcelona.Parallel to her academic career, Daniela Mitterberger also explores the boundaries between science and art with her multidisciplinary architecture office “MAEID [Büro für Architektur und Transmediale Kunst]”, which she co-founded in 2015. MAEID’s work interweaves computation, living systems and machines and challenges the relationship between humans, space and performativity. MAEID’s work has been awarded numerous international prizes and exhibited in renowned galleries, institutions and events, including the Venice Biennale 2021, Princess of Asturias Awards 2021, Seoul Biennale 2020, Ars Electronica Linz, MAK Vienna, Melbourne Triennial, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and HdA Graz.
