Introduction
The format is conceived as a kitchen-style conversation — experimental, convivial and shared. What’s Cooking? brings together designers, architects, artists and practitioners from diverse professional and social contexts for short inputs, unexpected perspectives and open exchanges. Each event features one protagonist, who invites a guest from another discipline, sparking dialogue across architecture, design, science, culture and politics.
The first guest, Julian Meisen, co-founded Common Agency in 2020 and is one of the four initiators of Neues Amt Altona, a cooperative urban project in Hamburg-Altona. His guest is Emanuel Heisenberg, founder of ecoworks, a contractor specialising in serial, sustainable construction, affordable solutions for the end user and digital planning with industrial prefabrication.
