Arno Brandlhuber (DE, 1964) is an architect and urban planner at bplus.xyz (Berlin), a collaborative practice that emerged from Brandlhuber+ (2006-2021). In his architectural production, from buildings to research to media, he deals with the existing building stock with a focus on legislation. He understands the given not as a restriction but rather as an active design tool to challenge the norms. This approach resulted in several buildings such as Brunnenstrasse 9, Antivilla or St. Agnes, and three films: Legislating Architecture (2016), The Property Drama (2017), and Architecting after Politics (2018), together with director Christopher Roth. Brandlhuber's engagement with the medium of film and its political and spatial potential led to the founding of station+ at ETH Zurich in 2017, a collaboration that resulted in 2038 - The New Serenity, the German Pavilion at the 17th Venice Biennale, together with Olaf Grawert, Nikolaus Hirsch, and Christopher Roth.

Olaf Grawert (AT, 1987) is an architect, advisor and a partner at bplus.xyz (Berlin). Together with a close network of collaborators, he works on architectural projects that bridge theory and practice, from campaigns and exhibitions to publications and films. His work focuses on the political and economic conditions of spatial production, with a particular interest in the potential of architecture to effect social change. Grawert was co-curator of 2038 - The New Serenity, the German Pavilion at the 17th Venice Biennale, and is co-editor of "What is architecture?". He has been teaching with station+ at ETH Zurich since 2017.

Jonas Janke (DE, 1991) is an architect and partner at bplus.xyz. He has a diverse background in architecture, was trained as an architectural draughtsman before pursuing his studies in Hamburg, Stockholm, and Berlin. He gained valuable experience as a tutor and assistant in various departments including design & typologies, building construction, and structural design. He was part of the team 2038, the German Pavilion at 17th Venice Architecture Biennale 2021. His focus is on new construction materials and methods for adaptive reuse and renovation projects, seeking pragmatic technical and mechanical solutions that use material and construction thoughtfully.

Roberta Jurcic (HR, 1993) is an architect and partner at bplus.xyz (Berlin), where her focus is on translating theoretical concepts such as multi-species cohabitation into different formats of (built) architecture. She has a particular interest in ecological processes and systems, with a focus on habitats for humans and non-humans alike. In her practice, she investigates this interest in relation to the privatization of land, both in urban and rural contexts, through alternative media such as film. She was member of the teaching team at station+ (ETH Zurich) from 2019-2022.

Jolene Lee (MY, 1993) is a Berlin-based architect and partner at bplus.xyz (Berlin). Her architectural projects focus on live, work, and third places in collaboration with Brandlhuber+, Muck Petzet Architekten, and FAKT Office for Architecture. As a practicing architect, Jolene is interested in taking concepts and theories into reality, utilizing a toolset that encompasses representational narrative in conceptual design, entrepreneurial strategies in architecture, and curation of architectural documentation. In her latest exploration, Jolene is conducting research and teaching with station+ at ETH Zurich since 2022.
