There is a pictorial rationality as there is a rationality of a painter’s work, rationality not of completion but of ‘investigation’. 

— Merleau-Ponty, The Institution of a Work of Art, 1954–55, 48.

​

Sophie Ramm investigates tangential encounters between painting and architecture, with a particular interest in figural knowledge. Since the summer semester 2023, she has been a teaching assistant and doctoral candidate at the Research Unit of Architecture Theory and Philosophy of Technics (ATTP) led by Prof. Bühlmann at TU Vienna. Since the winter semester 2026/27, she has also been a Teaching Assistant in the Class of Architecture and Art led by Prof. Bader at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. 

Her academic background spans painting, architecture and art history. She studied architecture at the UTFSM in Valparaíso, at the Technion in Haifa and at the Technical University of Munich, where she graduated with a Master's degree in 2019. She also holds a Master's degree in Art History from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. She studied painting in the class of Prof. Kneffel at the Academy, graduating with a diploma. She gained professional experience at RCR Arquitectes in Olot and worked for FAM Architekten in Munich. She is a member of the architecture collective PointOfNoReturn. Since 2025, she has also been co-editor of the Convivia. Journal for Architectonics at ATTP, TU Wien. Her research explores investigative rationality and analogical thinking, translating figural painting techniques into architectonic cases.
