Markus Miessen (*1978) is an architect, researcher, writer, and Professor of Urban Regeneration at the University of Luxembourg (Department of Geography and Spatial Planning), where he holds the Chair of the City of Esch. Supervised by Eyal Weizman, he received his PhD from the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths (London, UK). He is best known for his books “The Nightmare of Participation” and “Crossbenching – Toward Participation as Critical Spatial Practice” (both Sternberg Press and Merve Verlag) that form part of his “Participation tetralogy”, interrogating normative forms of participation while developing new models of institution building, spatial politics, and cultures of assembly.
