ARCHITECTURE ICONS LAUNCH AT BERLIN DESIGN WEEK 2026




On 28 May, we joined Budapester Salon for the launch of Architecture Icons, a new Berlin Design Week series dedicated to the practices shaping our cities.

The venue filled up past what any of us expected. @Martin Jasper's talk, Beyond Context, walked through projects across Berlin, Peru, Essen, Asunción, Kuwait and more.

From what it means to transform a building without erasing its memory through adaptive re-use at our UP! Berlin or our more recent Renew Ruhrturm Essen Project, to the future of cities and the role architecture will play in shaping a new urbanity. Every example showcased the importance of a deep contextual analysis.

The evening drew a full house and sparking conversations across architecture, design, and beyond.

Jasper Architects thanks Oliver Kuhlmey and the Budapester Salon team for hosting, and Christof Flötotto for the photography.
