Adrianne Wilson Joergensen is an architectural designer and Research Coordinator for ‘Tourism and Cultural Heritage: A Case Study on the Explorer Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn,’ a multi-disciplinary traveling research project at the ETH Zürich Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) in Singapore led by Professors Philip Ursprung and Alex Lehnerer. Her research agenda within the project is to build on the methods of nineteenth-century explorers such as Junghuhn to transfer knowledge and delight gained in travel, in this case to volcanoes on Java island, through drawing as both research method and a product.

Her previous research has focused on the architectural structuring of views, especially in tourist contexts around Southeast Asia. She has cataloged the design impacts of plot lines on urban contexts from Chicago to Jakarta. Her professional work includes pitches with Cosmo Design Factory in New York, FAT in London, and submissions for the Venice Biennale, MOMA PS1 Young Architects Program and the Navy Pier Redesign with UrbanLab in Chicago. Her design work has been published in SOILED, TheDraftery.com and the Economy Magazine and shown at Storefront for Art and Architecture and the Chicago Architecture Foundation.

She holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) School of Architecture, where she was a graduate teaching assistant and organizer of the student-run Department of Urban Speculation (DeptUS). Her Bachelor of Graphic Design is from North Carolina State University and she previously ran her own graphic design collective. Originally from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, she worked or studied in Chicago, Copenhagen, and Berlin before moving to Singapore. View her work at www.yooadrianne.com
