Poerschke is the principal of the firm Friedrich-Poerschke-Zwink Architekten in Munich and co-editor of the architectural journal Wolkenkuckucksheim. Her research primarily focuses on the relationship between architecture and technology, particularly how architectural theory and functionalism intersect with the integration of technological aspects in architectural projects. She also examines high modernism from the 1920s to the 1960s, investigating how architects responded to emerging technologies in lighting, heating, cooling, and ventilation at that time. Additionally, Poerschke teaches multiple courses on architectural design and environmentally conscious design practices.
