Working across art, architecture, landscape, and urbanism, Patrick Düblin is an urban researcher, art historian, educator, and writer. His research and practice bring walking-based inquiry, participatory methods, and critical engagement with the built environment into conversation. Particular interests include everyday urban life, informal and bottom-up spatial practices, and archives and collections.
His work takes shape through teaching, publishing, curating, and public programmes, linking historical and theoretical research with fieldwork, collaborative inquiry, and situated public engagement. A PhD from ETH Zurich (2023) focused on the performative and socially engaged spatial practices of the Italian collective Stalker. He is currently developing a master’s programme in sustainable and resilient urban development at Bern University of Applied Sciences.
In 2025, he founded the Office for Peripatetic Design, an informal platform for critical urban explorations. This website serves as a personal archive of publications, observations, and projects, including initiatives developed through the Office for Peripatetic Design.
