Sophia Hensel
B.A.
Tutor
Sophia Hensel has been studying for a Master’s degree in Architecture at the Vienna University of Technology since March 2024, having previously completed her Bachelor’s degree in Architecture at Munich University of Applied Sciences. During her studies so far, she has explored architecture in various cultural contexts, including through field trips and design-build projects in Uganda and California. She finds it particularly motivating to design sustainable architecture that harmonises with the landscape and nature, creating a habitat for people, flora and fauna.
In her Master’s programme, she focuses in particular on urban and open-space design, taking into account the socio-political challenges involved in the planning and implementation of architectural projects. In doing so, she places particular emphasis on resource-efficient and material-conserving construction, whilst treating existing structures with care.
Sophia Hensel has been working as a teaching assistant since October 2025 and hopes to gain an insight into research and teaching in a university context.
