Franziska Gödicke (*1998) studied architecture at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, the Università IUAV di Venezia and currently at ETH Zürich. From July 2021 to July 2023 she was part of the editorial team of ARCH+. As a freelance writer, her essays have been featured in publications such as the trans magazin. In January 2022, she joined the collaborative architectural practice b+ in Berlin. She was co-curator of the German Pavilion Open for Maintenance at the 18th International Architecture Biennale Venice (2023) and is currently a researcher associated with the European Citizens Initiative HouseEurope!. In workshops and guest critiques at venues such as AA London, RWTH Aachen, and the University of Cambridge, she focuses on spatial injustice and counternarratives in architectural and sociological histories. One of her recent articles examined the effect of the CFA-Franc on neo-colonial building activities in Dakar, Senegal. In a rich media essay, she speculated on Switzerland’s role as the European water tower in a new territorial order dictated by a cryosphere in crisis. Currently, she is investigating wet ontologies and mapping methods between computational sensing and human sensibility in the Mediterranean. In March 2024, she co-founded re-gards, a research-based practice with Florian K. Jaritz. Together, their project Proxy Ocean is shortlisted for the Biennale College Architettura 2024.
