About
KAMU an independent architecture practice based in Berlin. The practice works across architecture, landscape, urban space, exhibitions and research. Rather than treating design and research as separate disciplines, KAMU understands both as complementary ways of engaging with the built environment. Each project begins with close observation of its social, historical and material context and develops through collaboration across disciplines.
The practice is interested in questions of public space, housing, heritage, landscapes, memory, monuments and spatial justice. Its work ranges from architectural proposals and competitions to exhibitions, publications and long-term research projects.
