Geoffrey Thün is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. He is a founding partner in the research-based architectural practice RVTR.

RVTR is a platform for exploration and experimentation in the agency of architecture and urban design within the context of dynamic ecological systems, infrastructures, materially and technologically mediated environments and emerging social organizations. The work of this highly collaborative practice is coupled closely with Thün’s academic research and ranges in scale from that of the regional territory and the city, to high performance buildings, to full-scale prototypes that explore responsive and kinetic envelopes that mediate energy, atmosphere and social space.
