Thomas Albrecht is an architect educated at the Munich Technical University. After completing his master’s degree at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago under Myron Goldsmith, he began working as an architect at Hilmer and Satter in 1986, where he has been a partner since 1994. Albrecht holds an honorary doctorate from Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK, where he taught as visiting professor, as he also did at Kent State University’s center in Florence, Italy. With Hilmer and Satter, Albrecht works in urban design, high quality housing, and institutions, including 13 museums. His projects include the masterplan for the Potsdamer Platz, a commercial hub joining east and west Berlin, and the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace (with Franco Stella), today’s Humboldt Forum.
