Felix Burrichter

In 2011, he was awarded the Art Director's Club America Gold Medal for Editorial Design. Burrichter lives and works in New York, New York.

Burrichter was born and raised in Düsseldorf, Germany and attended part of high school in Southern California. He studied architecture at the École Spéciale d'Architecture as well as École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville in Paris, France and moved to New York City to obtain a master's degree at Columbia University.

In 2006, Burrichter launched Pin-Up magazine after working at a corporate New York architecture firm drawing Photoshop illustrations and making mood boards. The bi-annual publication, known as the "Magazine for Architectural Entertainment", covers a range of highbrow and lowbrow topics in fashion, art, politics, architecture, and design. Burrichter credits his time as an intern at Butt magazine in Amsterdam under Jop van Bennekom and Gert Jonkers (of Fantastic Man magazine) for inspiration to forge a new magazine that loosened up the idea of the architect as genius. The magazine has run features and interviews on a number of prominent architects such as Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Maria Pergay, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Martino Gamper, and Ettore Sottsass.

Burrichter has been a contributing writer to T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Fantastic Man, W, and Wired Italia From 2008 to 2010, he served as Butt magazine's editor. Burrichter edited Studio Work, a 2012 monograph of work by photographer Paul Mpagi Sepuya. The book featured portraits, snapshots, and various archival ephemera inside the artist's studio as well as text by writer Wayne Konstenbaum. Pin-Up Interviews was published in 2013 and covers over 50 conversations and interviews from previous Pin-Up issues. The 448-page work doesn't include any pictures and subjects include architects Odile Decq and Charles Renfro, fashion designers Rick Owens and Hedi Slimane, and artists Daniel Arsham and Robert Wilson. In 2017, Burrichter wrote and edited a monograph of Italian design furniture titled Cassina: This Will Be the Place: Thoughts and Photographs About the Future of Interiors. The book includes five interviews with architecture and design scholars and practitioners including curator and historian Beatriz Colomina and Finnish architect Martti Kalliala as well as five conceptual ideas turned into conceptual interiors, each with pieces from Cassina's catalog. In 2021, after 15 years as the publication's editor, Burrichter brought on furniture designer and writer Emmanuel Olunkwa to serve as the new editor. A limited-edition art book, Barbie Dreamhouse: An Architectural Survey, was published by PIN-UP and Mattel in late 2022. The monograph honored the dreamhouse's 60-year milestone.
