Friedrich Gräfling acts at the interface of architecture, art and culture and is deeply rooted in questioning about today's constitution of a »contemporary mixing chamber«. He graduated with Honours from the Architectural Association in London in 2013. His thesis project »contemporary court« has been nominated for RIBA Silver President`s Medal in the same year and has been discussed, reviewed and exhibited widely since. The basis of the research initiated real testing strategies, such as the exhibition and debate platform Salon Kennedy in Frankfurt, being counterbalanced by the founding and running of Kunstverein Wiesen 60km east in the Spessart. The physical as well as theoretical backbone of initiating cultural diplomacy and thus developing territorial planning is the core of Friedrichs interest. Friedrich`s work has been exhibited internationally, such as at Interieur Kortrijk, Belgium, Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan, Royal Academy of Arts in London or the London Festival of Architecture. He has organised and led an AA Visiting School in Frankfurt, has taught at the first architectural student exchange program in Pyjongyang and holds a visiting tutor- and lectureship at the AA School of Architecture.
