We were back in Berlin at Atelier Gardens last week to host ‘neext – powered by Drees & Sommer‘ for the opening event of their two-day Future Summit.

The theme was ‘Achieving Balance: Sustainable Development and Economic Growth’ and it was a complete treat to show the international group how we’ve gone about turning our vision for Atelier Gardens into a reality – transforming a historic film studio site into an award-winning global impact campus.

As usual it was the incredible Atelier Gardens community that brought it all to life. Big thanks to Dycle, Roots Radicals, Stadtbienen, Changing Cities, and Tiny Foundation for sharing the amazing work they do from the campus.

And to Jana Nadda Arnet from neext who chaired the panel discussion between John Bushell (KPF), Ruth Schagemann (Architects Council of Europe) and Fabrix’s Debbie Whitfield so expertly – genuinely bringing the whole room into the debate.

It was the perfect kick-off to an impressive two days of discussion and exchange facilitated by Drees & Sommer at the Future Summit – we’re looking forward to next year already!
