MsAnna Hofheinz

I am an architect, researcher and educator, with a keen interest in traditional construction, alternative approaches to modern construction and sustainable construction strategies. 

I completed my PhD research as part of the FabTrads project in 2025, researching the hygrothermal properties and behaviour of traditional construction in Ireland, and am co-principal investigator in the follow-on research project TradFabs. 

I have taught Design Studio and Building Technology at the school since 2014, initially as part-time tutor, Design Fellow and, since September 2025, as assistant professor / lecturer. I worked as design studio tutor at TU Dublin from 2012 to 2019 and have been invited as guest reviewer at various schools of architecture over the years (DIT, UL, QUB). 

Since 2021, I have acted as examiner on professional practice examinations through the UCD Professional Diploma (Architecture) and ARAE pathways.
