Barbara Zettel
Soon after her studies in Regensburg, the trained architect relocated to Surabaya and Singapore, where she lived for 11 years, working in various fields of architecture, from housing construction and exhibition design to developing an educational concept for teaching architecture at the German European School Singapore. After moving back to Munich, Barbara Zettel worked as a site manager for a medical clinic project. In 2018, she shifted her focus to architectural journalism and has since been supporting the Detail team as an editor.
