He studied media studies and eco­nomics in Europe and the USA, and co-founded start-ups in Berlin.

Barbara studied in Weimar and Lyon and com­pleted a trai­neeship at ARD, one of Germany’s most renowned TV sta­tions.

Bri­gitte was for many years an editor at Bauwelt, later Editor-in-Chief of Deut­sches Archi­tek­ten­blatt. In her spare time, she is a pas­sionate tra­veller, pre­ferably in the off-season. She is par­ti­cu­larly drawn to lost places and little-known archi­tec­tural gems, though his­to­rical and modern mas­ter­pieces alike are always worth a detour in her eyes.

Chris­tiane studied lite­rature and eth­nology. She never visits the same place twice, and loves good archi­tecture and well-stocked books­helves.
