Teaching is a central aspect of Lennart Wolff’s practice, encompassing workshops, seminars, lectures, talks, symposia, and events at institutions including the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Nürnberg, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Zurich University of the Arts, Columbia GSAPP, Barnard College, and Technische Universität Berlin, among others.
His pedagogical approach is rooted in an interdisciplinary view of architecture—not as an isolated discipline, but, drawing on thinkers like Reinhold Martin, as one medium among many within the broader sphere of cultural production. Architecture is understood as inseparable from the material and ideological conditions of (re)production: the ways in which culture, knowledge, and labor are organized, circulated, and sustained. In this context, teaching as a form of information work seeks to trace the networks through which built form, media, and discourse reproduce existing social relations—while also creating space for critique and transformation.
Within this framework, Wolff co-founded the AA Visiting School “Exhibiting Architecture, Media Methods and Agents” with Klaus Platzgummer in 2019. The program, organized in collaboration with Kunsthalle Zürich and, more recently, the Zurich University of the Arts, explores new approaches to architectural exhibition and media.
In 2022, he initiated the Building Information series with an exhibition curated alongside Kadambari Baxi, Elisa R. Linn, and Klaus Platzgummer at the Architekturmuseum of TU Berlin. Conceived as an inquiry into architecture’s role within informational economies, the series unfolded through the ARCH+ features event and continued in 2023 with a workshop, discussion, and screening at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Most recently, it expanded with the roundtable (Too Much) Information Work at Kunsthalle Zürich in 2024 and the two-day symposium Traces in Formation at the Zurich University of the Arts.
In 2024, he co-founded the Limbo Architecture Lab in Ghana in partnership with Limbo Accra—a collaboration involving the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, the AA Visiting School, and the Limbo Museum. The initiative investigates the transformative potential of the “as found” and “as built”—unfinished architectures across West Africa and beyond. Wolff also serves as the founding Director of Research and Education at the Limbo Museum in Accra.
