BUSarchitektur & BOA office for advanced randomness

Laura P. Spinadel (1958 Buenos Aires) is an Argentine-Austrian architect, urban planner, writer, educator, and principal of BUSarchitektur and BOA office for advanced randomness in Vienna. Her approach is holistic, aimed at solving complex problems in an architectural context that combines technology, art, sociology, and psychology, among others. She has made an international name for herself with the works Compact City and Campus WU, both considered pioneers of the holistic architecture ideology.

For the development of the master plan of the WU, the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration campus, Laura P. Spinadel took on a total of eight roles, whereby she realized that the most important role in the success story of this project was probably that of the networker: only with the right alliances can the consensus be reached that is necessary to achieve urban miracles. This is also how the idea for the URBAN MENUS methodology and software was born, an Interactive Society Game to create our cities in 3D using a consensual approach.
