Christoph Zeller studied architecture at the University of the Arts Berlin. He has worked at SANAA / Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa in Tokyo and at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel and London, where he led the designs for large scale projects such as the Tate Modern Switch House and others. In 2013 he founded the architecture studio Zeller & Moye together with Ingrid Moye, who studied architecture at the Anahuac University in Mexico and at the ETSAM (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid) in Spain. She also worked at the studios Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA in Tokyo, where she oversaw an office tower project in Mexico, and at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel and London, where she contributed to museum projects including The Tate Modern Switch House. Together, Zeller and Moye opened offices in both Mexico City and Berlin. The practice covers a wide range of typologies and scales, from object design to large buildings, working frequently at the boundaries of architecture, art, and design. Zeller & Moye's projects aim to engage with the public realm and address social and sustainability issues while seeking opportunities to go beyond boundaries and striving for the unexpected. Zeller is currently program director of the Visiting School Mexico for the Architectural Association London and has previously been professor at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. He has been awarded by the Academy of the Arts Berlin, the DAAD and the German Design Council. He is author of numerous essays and a member of the advisory board of the Mies van der Rohe Haus in Berlin.
