Profile

Tim Bauer. Studying conceptual architecture and visual media in Düsseldorf and soon Amsterdam. I am currently studying architecture with a focus on conceptual and experimental approaches. Later this year, I will begin my studies in Arts and Design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. My practice spans spatial design, moving image, photography, and print media, disciplines I treat not as separate fields, but as related tools for examining and reimagining built and perceived realities.

Conceptual architecture

During my architecture studies in Düsseldorf, I work primarily with speculative design, case studies, and visionary proposals. My interest lies less in finalized structures than in the capacity of architecture to raise questions, challenge norms, and test ideas. Whether through utopian drafts or small-scale interventions, I aim to confront given spatial conditions and rethink their social, aesthetic, and environmental implications.

Visual Media

Parallel to my architectural work, I produce film and photographic projects that oscillate between documentation and interpretation. This includes commercial work, such as a profile of a professional cyclist, as well as artistic explorations, like an audiovisual study of a mountain as a living and layered space. These projects often begin with a specific narrative or place, but remain open in form and method.

Outlook

I see my studies at the Rietveld Academie as a space to investigate the connections between conceptual architecture and visual media more deeply. I am interested in how artistic research and spatial experimentation can inform one another, and how both can address the complexities of contemporary life. My work is currently shaped by academic inquiry, client collaborations, and personal investigations. Open for jobs. Contact if interested. Also working under bureau var
