books articles small projects art cooking projects about me	I am a sociologist and european anthropologist working at the University of Zürich. Currently I am engaged in a research project on change of use of buildings. First I reconstruct the history of the concept of change of use. Second I do an ethnography of the change of use of sacred buildings (churches and mosques). See the article section on this. I also wrote a book and some articles on how environmental consulting operates between science, economy and politics. I also do art projects that link science studies, ethnography and art. With Florian Keller and Luc Georgi I work on the merging of social science and cooking. Upcoming: New Book: Re-Shaping Cities. How Global Mobility Transforms Architecture and Urban Form. Edited together with Ola Söderström. Routledge, Architext series: London 2009. Two conferences I organise: »Gotteshäuser als Fetisch? Zur Re- und Desakralisierung von Gebäuden« Podiumsdiskussion an der Akademie Schloss Solitude im Rahmen des Programms art, science & business   23. April 2009 Buildings: Technologies or Interactions?
