Curriculum Vitae

Arno Schlüter received his diploma in architecture at Technische Universität Karlsruhe, Germany in 2003. During his studies he worked as a student researcher at the Institute of Industrial Building Production (Prof. Dr. Niklaus Kohler, em. Prof. Dr. Fritz Haller) focusing on computer application in architectural design. He continued his education at ETH Zurich, pursuing postgraduate studies in Computer Aided Architectural Design (Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt) and his dissertation in the fields of information technology and sustainable building systems as a researcher at the Building Systems Group (Prof. Dr. Hansjürg Leibundgut). To apply the research in real-life building projects he co-founded the ETH CleanTech Spinoff keoto AG in 2009, where he is currently head of the management board. In 2010 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Architecture & Sustainable Building Technologies at the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA), ETH Zurich.

Arno Schlüter is member of the Energy Science Center (ESC) of ETH Zurich, the board of BuildingSmart Switzerland and of the sustainability board of HKG Group.
