Professor Ludwig's research focuses on architectural concepts where plants play a central role. Integrating plants functionally and creatively into construction designs provides answers to today’s pressing ecological issues and adaptation to climate change. This presents a methodological challenge, encouraging exploration of ways to deal with aspects of growth and decay, as well as the chance and probability that architecture will influence landscape design. He studied architecture and completed his doctorate studies at the University of Stuttgart with a dissertation entitled 'The Botanical Fundamentals of Baubotanik Application Design'. In 2007, he founded the research group 'Baubotanik' at the University of Stuttgart’s Institute of Architectural Theory and Design (IGMA) and headed the group as a research associate until 2017. He also runs the planning office Living Architecture OLA with Daniel Schönle and Jakob Rauscher, applying a botanical-constructive approach to architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture.
