Chris Bosse founded LAVA in 2007 with Tobias Wallisser and Alexander Rieck. This international network of leading architects uses the latest research and technology to build efficient, sustainable beautiful structures.
Educated in Germany and Switzerland, Bosse bases his work on the computerised study of organic structures and resulting spatial conceptions.
His award-winning design projects have won Bosse an international reputation as a new generation architect who pushes the boundaries of traditional structure and architecture by digital and experimental form-finding.
Whilst Associate Architect at PTW in Sydney Bosse was a key designer of the Beijing Olympics Watercube, winner of the Atmosphere Award at the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale and the AIA Jorn Utzon Award for International Architecture. The following year he received the Emerging Architect RIBA award, in 2012 Perspective’s 40 Under 40 for Asia’s rising design stars and an Australian Design Honour in 2015.
LAVA was the 2016 Laureate of the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.
Alongside his architectural practice Bosse is Adjunct Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney and lectures worldwide.
