Katharina Benjamin from our Architecture Advisory Board

Katharina Benjamin co-founded Kontextur and combines architecture communication with building construction. In the Kontextur podcast, she talks with Angelika Hinterbrandner and guests about current questions in architecture and the construction industry. On the board, both come together: how things are built and how people talk about it.

What convinced you to join the hej.build Architecture Advisory Board?

I think exciting tasks and the pleasure of working with the hej.build team await me.

What is most on your mind at the moment in architecture, interior architecture or building products?

One question that particularly interests me is how a socially acceptable construction transition can be achieved.

What does good architecture/interior architecture mean to you?

Above all, I mean well-designed spaces that make social interaction possible.

Is there a current highlight or an all-time favourite project?

An ongoing favourite for me is the Kontextur Podcast, where Angelika Hinterbrandner and I discuss current questions of architecture and the construction industry, sometimes just the two of us, sometimes with guests.

Which topic is keeping you busy right now?

Tell us briefly which building products it’s about and what you want to achieve. We’ll get back to you with an initial assessment. We often start with our »Day One« workshop: a day at your premises, where marketing, sales and senior management set priorities together.
