Michael Haller is an architect and certified fire safety engineer based in Zurich, and founder of arc experts AG.
His work focuses on how emerging technologies - particularly AI - are changing the relationship between engineering, design, and decision-making.
Within his research at ETH Zurich, he develops real-time AI models that predict complex physical phenomena such as smoke and airflow. His work challenges traditional roles in the building industry, positioning engineering not as a downstream control function, but as an active driver of design and strategic decisions.
