Annie Locke Scherer
Annie Locke Scherer is a architectural designer and builder. Through her studio, AL Scherer AB, she specializes in parametric design and digital fabrication for large-scale experiential structures.
Annie Locke specializes in realizing ambitious, complex builds from concept to completion. She moves between high-level computation and the full-scale construction site, leveraging her expertise in parametric patterning and advanced material research to drive the entire process. 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, and an M.Sc. in Integrative Technologies from the University of Stuttgart (ITECH), and an M.Arch from the University of Michigan. She 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.
