Annie Locke Scherer
Annie Locke Scherer is an architectural designer and builder, specializing in parametric design and digital fabrication for large-scale experiential structures. Her practice AL Scherer AB focuses on realizing ambitious, complex builds, bridging the gap between high-level computation and to full-scale construction.
By leveraging her expertise in parametric patterning and advanced material research, she drives the entire architectural process from the digital model to the physical build. Her portfolio features notable projects including the permanent installations Bayt Al Noor and Temple of Tokamak, the Ice Hotel 360 suite “The Breach,” and other large-format structures like Protea (Effigy).
This professional practice is underpinned by rigorous research, including doctoral studies at KTH Stockholm focused on the integration of computational design with fabric formwork. She also holds an M.Sc. in Integrative Technologies from the University of Stuttgart (ITECH) and an M.Arch from the University of Michigan. Annie Locke has taught at KTH, given international lectures, and has work published and recognized within the design and fabrication community. Annie Locke’s unique blend of academic rigor and hands-on making defines her independent vision: a commitment to transforming complex computational workflows into tangible, buildable, and interactive architectural realities.
