In this episode, we meet Elke Sterling-Presser and Nicolas Sterling, architects and engineers, co-founders of a Berlin-based studio STERLING PRESSER, where creative thinking and cultural translation are the base to building meaningful spaces 📐🏗️
Elke and Nicolas shares how her path from multidisciplinary training to collaborative practice shaped their approach to design: one that listens deeply to the singularity from places and people 💫
We explore how architecture becomes a language of connection, the art of translating across cultures and ideas, and what it means to hold space with humility, curiosity, and joy 🌱
From international collaborations to insights on creative partnership and the role of technology in practice, Elke and Nicolas reflect on the art of constructing not just buildings, but relationships with clients, contexts, and the world around us 🗺️🤝
