Melanie Fessel, Dipl.-Ing., earned her professional degree in architecture from the Berlin University of Technology, Germany as well as the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain. She was trained and worked as an architect and urban designer in Spain, Switzerland, and New York City.
Her process focuses on the synergy of architecture, urban studies, and ecological science. Melanie explores various media to capture a multi-layered synthesis of theoretical commentaries, innovative solutions, and cultural references on the city.
The philantrophic design principles of her studio, ONE (Open Network Ecology) Odyssey, integrate ecological issues in the urban environment. Ecology in design is not only a philosophy that inspires visions of sustainability and social justice, but also a focused scientific endeavor.
