Research Associate

Alexandra Knapke is an urban designer, media designer, marketing specialist, and make-up artist. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Metropolitan Culture and a Master of Science in Urban Design from HafenCity University Hamburg. She currently works as a Research Associate at City Science Lab on the DiDEK Baustelle research project. Her research focuses on digital urbanism, urban communication, participatory design, digital interfaces, and data-driven tools for communicating urban transformation. Drawing on methods from design research, visual communication, and Science and Technology Studies, she explores how digital technologies can make complex urban processes more transparent, accessible, and citizen-centred. Across all of it, her work lives in the in-between where research meets intuition, structure meets sensitivity, and city meets story.
