For a number of years, Chris Bosse has based his work on the computerised study of organic structures and resulting spatial conceptions. His research lies in the exploration of unusual structures pushing the boundaries of the traditional understanding of structure and architecture by means of digital and experimental formfinding.

Born in 1971 in Stuttgart, Chris Bosse was educated in Germany and Switzerland and worked in several European architecture firms. His postgraduate degree at the University of Stuttgart dealt with the implementation of virtual worlds into architecture.

With Mad Oreyzi he developed the Bubble-Highrise for Berlin in 2002.
