Antje Steinmuller, chair and professor of architecture at Taubman College, is featured in a Nov. 20 interview with Metropolis, a top architecture and design publication.   

The interview, titled “Antje Steimuller Wants to Get the Housing Question Right,” focuses on her transition to Ann Arbor from California, how the housing crisis affects different parts of the country, and how Steinmuller’s research addresses innovative housing typologies. Steinmuller started at Taubman College in July 2024, previously serving as chair of undergraduate architecture at California College of the Arts in San Francisco.

“As a school, we are looking closely at who we are and what we want to be with regard to what is happening in the world, and by that, I mean climate change, the housing crisis, and technological developments with AI,” Steinmuller tells the publication. “This will happen through collaborative processes with students, faculty, and staff over the course of this first year. There’s already a lot happening at Taubman, so it’s a matter of bringing dispersed efforts together and making them more tangible for future students, connecting them with grants, longer-term research projects, and within communities around the college. I’m really hoping to intensify the collaborations that we have, and should have, right in Ann Arbor and Detroit and other areas. Detroit especially is a place where we can learn a lot, from the struggles that have happened and the strategies that have worked.”
