Hannes Frykholm is an architect (UC Berkeley and LTH, (MSc. Arch)), educator and researcher. He holds a PhD in architecture from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, where he has been teaching the master studio "Infrastructural Love". His doctoral thesis, Building the City from the Inside, considers entrance situations that occur between buildings and cities, in order to develop new ways of investigating architecture and urban transformation. The thesis points to the threshold of three buildings as sites of a transformational relationship between architecture and capitalism, whereby the city is reconfigured through the extension of interiors out to sidewalks and squares. He has been a practicing architect in Sweden for 10 years, and is a member of FyR Architects, a Stockholm- and Madrid-based practice. From 2022, he is the Rothwell Chair Postdoctoral Associate at The University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, in collaboration with Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal.
