endboss is an interdisciplinary studio for spatial questions and answers at all scales. We come from architecture and urban planning, visual arts and literature, social sciences, open space planning and construction.
According to our self-image, the built space and the variable free spaces in between are responsibly design tasks, which we approach with each project in a new way, with different means and in different team constellations. We try to avoid routines and method suitcases – instead, we constantly work on our maneuverability in uncertain terrain with growing success. We feel most comfortable in this area because we are convinced that unpredictability and unprogramming are, or should be, two decisive factors in our planning and concepts of cohibitation.
Classic service is not part of our portfolio. Just as we are not available for city marketing outsourced to the building authority or for citizen appeasement for nonsensical investor projects. However, those who seriously want to develop spaces and are looking for experimental strategies in urban development contexts will find in us fearless accomplices in common cause.
A core of our work is movement: On the streets and in people's minds, generated by unforeseen situations. Even in "classic" construction jobs, we are about bringing people along, recognizing social structures and empowering ourselves and others to build on them. We ourselves come from a scene characterized by DIY culture and believe that knowledge may be created in schools and universities, but the know-how – that is, the "knowing how" – is built exclusively in the making. That's why participation and co-production play a big role in many of our projects, because they can have an identity-forming effect and create a sense of responsibility. For us, there is no greater success than the networks and movements that emerge from our projects long after we are gone. Therefore responsibility and taking responsibility are key values of our work.
Our love of movement is not only figurative, but also very concrete and usable in the numerous, partly award-winning, skate and movement parks that we have built in recent years. We combine decades of skateboarding know-how with construction expertise and high aesthetic standards. Our skateparks are places with impact, which means activated spaces that are not only used, but lived.
We plan the unbuildable. And we build the unplannable. In doing so, we are moved by strategies for sustainable and resilient urban development. For us, urban development and the tasks associated with it are not commercial services, but a social mission. For us, it is not about building objects, but about developing and spatializing socially supported future scenarios.
Our previous construction spectrum includes temporary architecture and interventions in public space, skate and movement parks, design and street furniture and open space planning in all service phases. Currently and in the future, we also deal with art in construction, curation, artistic interventions in public space of various scales and building construction.
We build and develop not only objects and spaces, but also communities. We connect people who didn't know each other before in a common mission. In doing so, we try to develop and test the best possible organizational forms that foster participation, ownership, and visionary thinking and empathy. For example, even if we are "only" planning a temporary intervention, our goal is to develop a community in the process that will exist and act beyond the project period. We seek to identify, inspire, and activate new neighborhoods in spirit and to unfold networks that work transdisciplinarily and transnationally on social transformation. From a very small scale up to large scale.
