Meinrad Morger
Meinrad Morger, born in 1957, grew up in St. Gallen. After an apprenticeship as a structural draftsman and architectural studies at the HTL Winterthur and the ETH Zurich, he was an assistant at the ETH. In 1988 he founded the internationally successful architecture firm http://www.morgerpartner.ch. In 1992 he was awarded the Swiss Federal Art Scholarship. After guest lectureships at EPF Lausanne and ETH Zurich, Morger held a professorship at FH Zentralschweiz, later at RWTH Aachen and TU Darmstadt. From 2017 till 2025, he has been a full professor at KIT. In addition, Morger is involved as a member of the board of directors at Theater Basel and president of the foundation board at the Swiss Museum of Architecture. His credo for teaching: "I take care to influence students never to imitate my personal architectural language, but rather to encourage them to reflect on the fundamental, on the essence of architecture in their work, in order to acquire their own attitude over time."
