Zsófia Szőke is a hungarian architect and artist based in Berlin. She studied Architecture and Engineering at TU Budapest and spent a semester as an Erasmus scholar at the HAWK in Hildesheim, Germany, simultaneously acquiring work experience at KSP Engel Architekten in Braunschweig.

After receiving an MSc with a graduation project with honours (Identity for a commuter rail, 2011), she primarily focused on a research project called ‘Kuki Wonderland’, dealing with the relations of the body in the architectural context. This research was put into practice through two summer workshops at EASA. In 2013 she moved to Rotterdam, where, after working at the local architectural practices, she became part of the international design team at Studio Maks, broadening conventional architectural territories towards art and urbanism. Over the next three years she devoted herself to developing her autonomous artistic practice with a socially critical attitude towards production of space during her interior design studies at ‚Studio for Immediate Spaces’ course of Sandberg Institute Amsterdam, being receptive to the approach and implementation skills of numerous recognized architects and artists. Upon returning back to her hometown, she actively transposed her multidisciplinary insights into regional and international architectural discourse and craft.

In 2020 Szőke joined the New Museum of Transport project team at DS+R’s Hungarian partner, and worked for 3 years in an international environment, closely collaborating with the lead designers on the Museum’s planning from schematic to construction design phases.
