David Chipperfield Architects Berlin invites you to a three-day festival on our Campus in Berlin-Mitte from 10 – 12 September 2025

Following the theme On Tranformation and Heritage, the programme will include lectures and debates with local and international architects, researchers, and activists, covering topics from heritage and repair to activism and robotics. The festival will conclude with a get-together and a party on our campus.

We look forward to turning our office into an open space for dialogue between practice, research, and theory, and hope that you will join us.

Please note: the event will partially be held in German and English.
