Introducing: Barbara Imhof – Lecturer in the SpaceTech Master’s Programme

She is a space architect, design researcher, and considered a pioneer in Europe. In the module “Human Spaceflight”, she demonstrates what architecture must be capable of in outer space.

Extreme temperatures, no breathable air, and confined spaces – space architecture always deals with the harshest conditions. This makes it all the more challenging to create habitats where humans can not only survive but also feel comfortable. After all, a journey or stay in space, on the Moon, or even on Mars is far from a day trip.
After studying architecture, Barbara Imhof completed a Master of Space Studies and undertook an internship at NASA. Twenty years ago, together with René Waclavicek and Waltraut Hoheneder, she founded LIQUIFER, a space architecture firm that collaborates with major European aerospace companies on the development of international space stations.

What she particularly values about her work: “I work with highly professional people from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines who share my enthusiasm for space exploration. It gives me a great sense of purpose to be part of something new, future-oriented and significant.”

Sustainable Construction Methods and Smart Systems – On-Site Insights

An excursion took participants of the course Timber Structures and Technical Extensions across Styria and on to Vienna.

Two days full of timber, technology, and fascinating insights: 

The tour began at MHS Installation Systems in Stainz – a pioneer in drinking water supply and a leader in ready-to-install system boxes. After an inspiring factory tour, the group visited the newly renovated Stainzer Warte – 93 wooden steps, stunning panoramic views, and a short break. At Kaufmann Bausysteme in Kalwang, the high level of prefabrication, advanced planning and production processes, and modular timber architecture were truly impressive. In Leoben, Mayr-Melnhof Holz provided a clear insight into the capabilities of modern timber processing.

In Vienna, the focus shifted to large-scale projects: “Village im Dritten” and the expansive LeopoldQuartier – both featuring highly interesting combinations of timber construction systems.

Conclusion: Much seen, much learned – a successful excursion!

Well done on earning your MBA!

At the end of April, four participants in the MBA in Leadership in Digital Transformation completed their final exams with distinction – including Toni Celina.

“After finishing my Computer Science degree, I started getting more interested in topics like management and leadership. My technical background didn’t cover much in that area, so I saw the Master's as a great way to fill that gap. I chose the Future Mobility & Management specialisation because, as a software developer, I work on innovative automotive software projects. 

Looking back, the MBA was a fantastic experience – both professionally and personally. The lecturers were brilliant: knowledgeable, hands-on, and always up to date.”

Helmut Aschbacher from Programme Management personally handed over the final completion notice and congratulated Toni on behalf of the whole LLL team.
