Looking for fractional role in sustainability project
Integrated Urbanism & Sustainable Design Specialist at BM Design Studio
Berlin, Germany
About
M Design Studio (Berlin/Dubai) is looking to join an existing DUT consortium as a design-led SME partner with a sustainability focus. Led by architect and urbanist Balsam Madi (MSc Integrated Urbanism & Sustainable Design, Stuttgart; LEED GA; 17 years across Europe and the GCC), we turn project goals into tested interventions with residents, municipalities and local businesses.
We can contribute to work packages on adaptive reuse of existing structures, nurturing neighbourhood economies, innovative maintenance of green and blue spaces (e.g. nature-based regeneration of Al Safa 2 Park, Dubai competition and Saida Children's park design and upgrade), circular urban production and low-impact material sourcing, and resident engagement for PED solutions in private housing alongside energy partners.
Our role: participatory and co-design processes, living-lab facilitation, stakeholder mediation, concept design for pilots, and proposal support. Working languages: English, German, Arabic, French. Contact: studio@balsammadi.com
