Bertien has been office manager at the Natural Building Lab since the beginning, where her eternal patience and experience keeps the NBLs operations running smoothly. Bertien's knowledge of the TU's institutional framework and extensive network means that she is always ready to master the challenges of working with a team that is keen to realise projects going beyond the normal scope of a university department.

Felix is the workshop leader at IfA Bau in the Ackerstr. and trained as a master carpenter.

Matt is an idealist and thinks that group skills are underpriced in architecture school, often in favour of a competitive attitude to design, that has its endgame in an intractable and environmentally unfriendly building sector. At NBL he values the chance to collaborate with a huge variety of like-minded and inspirational people on projects which present a more hopeful vision for our shared built environment. His big wish is to inspire and empower NBL'ers to realise these visions in their own critical and collective spatial practice. Originally from the UK, Matt has been based in Berlin since 2011 and joined Natural Building Lab as a teaching and research associate in April 2018. He is part of the team responsible for teaching-related projects at NBL while working on his PhD dissertation.

Nina has been the driving force between numerous DesignBuild projects since 2009, where her extensive experience collaborating with people from different backgrounds makes her an invaluable member of any team. Equally at home moderating discussions between students & residents on the narrow streets of Moravia in Medellin, as spending long days repairing the Infozentrale in Berlin Neukölln, Nina’s extensive experience moving between practice and academic contexts has been central to the Natural Building Labs philosophy since its beginning.

Für ihre Arbeit zur Herstellung von Lehmbaustoffen aus Baustellenaushub wurden Micha Kretschmann und Christian Gäth, Alumni der TU Berlin und Masterabsolventen des Natural Building Labs, für den Bundespreis Ecodesign nominiert. Der Bundespreis ist die höchste staatliche Auszeichnung für nachhaltiges Design und wird jährlich vom Umweltministerium und Umweltbundesamt ausgelobt. 

Fünf Jahre Natural Building Lab. Das sind fünf Jahre im Zeichen des Bauens für und mit der post-fossilen Gesellschaft und somit der großen Themen, die uns bewegen: kreislauffähiges, klima- und ressourcenangepasstes Bauen, Naturbau- und Low Tech Systeme und transdisziplinäre Ansätze in Architekturausbildung und -praxis.
