Space Between People is the integrative framework that connects Hanna Noller's work as a researcher, educator, architect, and urban activist. With an interdisciplinary background in architecture, business economics, and furniture design, she navigates across disciplines, scales, and perspectives—mediating between theory and practice, people and places, ideas and implementation.

The focus of Hanna Noller’s work concentrates on transformational strategies in the urban design context, where she currently develops concepts, programs and theoretical frameworks to meet the future needs of the society since more than 12 years. At present, she is pursuing a PhD at the Institute for History and Theory of Architecture and the City at the TU Braunschweig, supported by a doctoral scholarship from the Wüstenrot Foundation.

Since 2016, she has worked as a research and teaching assistant in various Institutions, such as Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design, the Urban Design Institute of the University of Stuttgart and the Leibniz University of Hanover. In 2019/2020 she was an Guest Professor for Architecture and Design at State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart.


Currently, she is coordinator in the Zukunftslabor.Klima – Open Planning Cultures at the Technical University of Braunschweig and also co-founder of the non-profit organization Stadtlücken e.V., which researches urban voids and highlights them through urban interventions since 2015. Hanna Noller studied at the HafenCity University Hamburg, Mimar Sinan Üniversitesi Istanbul and the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart. She holds a Masters Degree in Architecture, as well a Diploma in Business Administration from the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) and a practical training as carpenter.
