Studio Andreas Lechner is an architectural practice based in Graz, Austria founded by Andreas Lechner. The studio pursues research-driven, context-sensitive architecture with a strong focus on transformation, reuse, and the careful reconfiguration of existing buildings. Its work combines theoretical reflection with built practice, developing precise, robust spatial solutions designed for long-term adaptability.

Dr. Andreas Lechner is an Austrian architect, educator, and writer. He is Associate Professor of Design and Building Theory at TU Graz, where his work operates between practice, research, and teaching. He understands architecture as an epistemic practice in which typology, spatial form, and construction intelligence mediate social, ecological, and political conditions over time. Drawing, typological analysis, and comparative research constitute central instruments of this approach.

A licensed architect and member of the Austrian Federal Chamber of Architects and Engineers, he served for many years as a voting member of the expert commission for the historic city of Graz (ASVK). Over the past fifteen years, he has supervised more than sixty-five master’s theses and secured over €1 million in competitive research funding. His studio has realized ten built projects, with further commissions in development. Andreas is the author of award-winning Thinking Design – Blueprint for an Architecture of Typology (Park Books, Zurich, 2021) and of Architectural Affordances – Typologies of Umbau (Thymos Books, Naples, 2025). He lectures internationally, including at Politecnico di Milano and TU Berlin, and serves as co-editor of GAM – Graz Architecture Magazine and an upcoming special issue of The Journal of Architecture (RIBA / Taylor & Francis).
