About

Michael Wagner is an architect and stage and experience designer, as well as a sound, lighting and video technician.

An architect with substantial experience in the stage and event industry, Michael combines his two fields of work in his research. His specific focus lies on rethinking conventional ways of structuring the spatial, visual, and auditory dimensions of events within a wider frame of spatial design and event technology, as well as audience interaction.

To critically and creatively address respective contemporary issues, Michael combines architecture, stage design, and stage technology to create unique, interactive, and immersive content and experiences.

Michael currently manages the AV department at UCL HereEast and teaches at the Bartlett School of Architecture’s MArch for Design for Performance and Interaction, as well as on the MEng programme. He also works as a freelance designer and curator for stage-design companies and is involved with various event projects both in the UK and in Switzerland.

Michael holds a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from HTW Chur in Switzerland and an MArch in Design for Performance and Interaction from The Bartlett School of Architecture / University College London.
