Anders Rubing is an architect and a Ph.D. candidate at SKOK. His project with the working title Loop learning at SKOK wishes to unpack how visions of different urban futures are produced by urban security- and resilience-discourses. The project is looking at how urban resilience and security is discussed in national and international conferences and convention and how the discourse between practitioners, academics, and policymakers can be productive of different visions of an urban future. At the project's core is how these urban futures are affecting populations rendered vulnerable, such as migrant groups and gendered and racialized groups.

Rubing has for the last couple of years been researching the intersection between security and rights to democratic exchange in the city and how physical security affects cities and other urban systems and its users. Rubing was co-editor for the award-winning book The City Between Freedom and Security, Contested Public Spaces in the 21st Century that circled the themes mentioned above. The book received Dam Architectural Book Award 2017 and Svensk Bokkonst 2017. Anders has been published in books internationally and is a frequent writer in Norwegian architecture magazines. He is an often used lecturer on security, architecture and the right to the city. Rubing have also been designing a broad specter of architecture, urban plans, and public art commissions. 

Rubing is running Teori og Praksis, a platform to lift a debate around the built environment in relation to economy, politics, and lived life. Rubing was educated at Bergen School of Architecture (BAS) where he finished with distinction 2012. He is currently teaching at master level and supervising diplomas at BAS. He is a freelance architecture critic at Arkitektur N.

Rubing has during the last five years taught at masters level at Bergen School of Architecture. He is both head teacher for semester-long master studios and main supervisor for master theses.
