Nina Lorenzen & Jörn Lorenzen

Working at the intersection of pedagogy, space and strategic school development, Nina Lorenzen and Jörn Lorenzen support school construction processes through Lernbauten GmbH; together with local authorities, schools, after-school care providers, administrations, architecture firms and other planning stakeholders, they develop spatial, usage and furnishing concepts that translate pedagogical requirements into future-proof learning environments.

Lecture topic
Under the title “Between space shortages, all-day provision and existing buildings: How local authorities develop future-proof learning spaces”, Nina and Jörn Lorenzen show how local authorities can respond to the wide range of challenges in school construction, as space shortages, the entitlement to all-day provision, existing buildings, tight budgets and pedagogical development often converge at the same time; using concrete project examples, their keynote highlights which early decisions are crucial so that additional space becomes resilient places for learning and living, and which levers local authorities should clarify at an early stage so that construction pressure can be transformed into future-proof learning spaces.
