Daniel Koehler is an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture. He holds a PhD from Innsbruck University and studied architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Daniel Köhler’s research explores the intersection of generative AI, architectural theory, and research by design. He utilizes computational methods to project positive futures through architectural synergies. His work focuses especially on generative systems, compositional histories, and the implications of artificial intelligence on city architecture. Koehler has authored over 50 publications including a monograph, edited volumes, and conference papers. His research has received grant support and has been exhibited internationally, including at the Centre Pompidou, Venice Biennale, and the Prague Architecture Biennale. Together with Rasa Navasaityte he co-founded the Lab for Environmental Design Strategies which is a research-based architecture studio. The studio aims to architect through computation towards ecological forms for a societal, cultural friendly environment. Previously, Koehler directed a research cluster at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL in London, where he coordinated the theory module for Urban Design. He has taught at several institutions, including Aalto University in Finland, the Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania, and the University of East London.
