Michael Shamiyeh Architect in practice and head of Design-Organisation-Media Research Laboratory. Graduated with distinction as an architect from the Technical University of Vienna and has a Master in Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He has done extensive research work in Jerusalem and Berlin. Together with the cultural theorist Thomas Duschlbauer he is co-founder of the interdisciplinary Bureau for Architecture, Urbanism and Culture (BAU|KULTUR) that seeks to define new relationships – as much theoretical as practical – between a contemporary architectural production and a contemporary cultural situation. Thus, the firm is concerned with realising projects at home and abroad, teaching, consulting and investigation of cultural phenomena.

Design Organisation Media Research Laboratory (DOM)

3

DOM is based at The University of Arts and Industrial Design and run in close collaboration with the Ars Electronica Center, Linz. Point of departure for DOM is the assumption that contemporary societal and technical changes have led to new conclusions in the field of urbanism, architecture and design. As a sort of independent Think Tank DOM attempts to help organisations to innovate, to define early relevant topics, to show the need for action, and to formulate a set of future actions. For this purpose DOM closely operates with other institutions and experts at home and abroad, and organises international conferences and workshops. In presenting the results of investigations in a clear and understandable way DOM intends to bring in lasting impulses and fundamentals for (public) debate.
