Florian Scheucher works in space and music.
Florian Scheucher is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Urban Planning and Architectural Design at the German University of Technology in Oman. He is engaged in undisciplined spaces, a nomadic practice for spatial design and research, and releases music under the name a wave, a mouth;. He holds an MA in Architecture from the Royal College of Art in London, and has previously worked in Austria, the UK, and Taiwan.
Their theoretical work revolves around an interrogation of the discipline of Architecture on a foundational level, and a participation in the discourse around decolonisation of the spatial disciplines. It traces the construction of a disciplinary epistemology, and a challenge to hegemonic patterns of perception as foundations of unjustified hierarchies, with a particular interest in investigating how hegemonic forms of power and collectivity are linked to disciplinary behaviours, attitudes and beliefs.
Additional research interests lie in the links between cosmologies and culturally associated perceptions and productions of space, as well as Westphalian nationality and national identity as the only globally accepted form of collectivity, especially in relation to alternative, non-hegemonic, non-eurocentric and decolonial forms of collective organisation. A past project was concerned with regions of ambiguous national territoriality, with a focus on Lake Constance, and the institutional, political and identitarian prerequisites for, and effects of such ambiguity of nationality and territorial sovereignty.
Other key projects include the candidature for the curation of the Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2024, a proposal for the continued evolution of Gare d’Orsay in Paris, as well as the design for several public urban infrastructures in Taiwan.
