Mike Schlaich is a partner at the engineering consultancy schlaich bergermann partner, which designs lightweight, long-span structures and solar power plants worldwide. He is committed to promoting construction that is valuable from a Baukultur (‘building culture’) perspective. Until 2025, Schlaich was also a full professor at the Technische Universität Berlin, where he headed the chair for Conceptual and Structural Design. His research focuses on lightweight carbon-prestressed structures as well as active and adaptable structures. He has developed infra-lightweight concrete for use as load-bearing thermal insulation in walls as well as resource-efficient shell structures for ceilings. Mike Schlaich is a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Academy of Arts.
