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.

Sina macht gern mit möglichst vielen Menschen viele Dinge auf einmal und versucht dabei heraus zu finden was Architektur alles sein kann. In Anbetracht des immensen Herausforderungen braucht es weniger Gebäude und mehr Updates der Planungs- und Baupraxis, unserer Rollenbilder und normativen Handlungs- und Arbeitsfelder. Gemeinsam mit dem Kollektiv Team Dis+Ko fordert sie daher mehr Diskurs + Kooperation im Bausektor und Flächengerechtigkeit mit dem Projekt Karawane Freiraum. Seit 2020 begleitet sie das innovative Bau- und Forschungsprojekt „Pavillon und Wissenspfade“ an der TU Berlin, ein Reallabor für das Planen und Bauen in den planetaren Grenzen.
