Nov 2023 Collaboration TU Berlin (Habitat Unit)
In a partnership with Habitat-Unit from TU Berlin and Ein Shams University in Cairo, we hosted a delegation of scholars and professionals at our office. Jan Braker and Bedour Braker delivered a presentation which provided insights into our strategies for incorporating sustainability into our projects. The presentation was followed by a guided tour with Jan Braker of the urban areas in Hamburg that align with the workshop's objectives. This collaborative initiative is made possible through the support of DAAD and is anticipated to span three years, from 2023 to 2026.

Nov 2023 Pecha Kucha London-Street Space
Dr. Bedour Braker has received an invitation to deliver a Pecha Kucha presentation at the book launch event for 'Everyday Streets: Embracing Inclusive Perspectives on Street Analysis and Design' in London. During this event, Dr. Braker will explore the contents of her chapter, which delves into an in-depth examination of two contentious streets within a Hamburg neighborhood. Over a span of three years, she has conducted a meticulous examination of these streets, revealing a striking contrast in terms of their traditions and levels of mutual acceptance, despite their physical proximity.
Oct 2023 Public Lecture Archinet
We're thrilled to share that Dr. Bedour Braker is scheduled to present a public lecture in October as a featured speaker at the 4th Arab Architecture Week 2023, which is being hosted by Archinet on the Zoom platform. Dr. Braker's talk will explore the evolving German policy landscape concerning the redefinition of educational institutions and their integral role in community development. The lecture will also delve into our architectural designs at Jan Braker Architekt, which tackle various societal challenges and underscore the significance of involving the community in decision-making. This conference is open to the public, providing an accessible opportunity for everyone to engage with these critical discussions.

Jun 2023 School Bickbargen Inauguration
We celebrated the inauguration of the school Bickbargen. The 50-year-old school was substantially extended, received a complete refurbishment and a new school yard design. The project lasted 11 years from the first investigations to completion and is a perfect example how the lifespan of existing buildings can be prolonged, the history and memories of generations of users preserved and vital energy saved by avoiding a new structure.
