Christian served as JSPS post-doctoral fellow at the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies of the University of Tokyo, where he examined the politics of public space in metropolitan Japan. He is partner of the architectural practice Frontoffice Tokyo and co-founder of the civil society initiatives Open Architecture Collaborative, Tokyo Chapter (former Architecture for Humanity), Tohoku Planning Forum, and Tokyo Transitions.
