Robin is an architect, urban planner, and co-founder of Endboss. He studied architecture and urban planning in Hanover and Athens, is a fellow of the Federal Government’s Competence Center for Cultural and Creative Industries, and is registered on the list of design authors of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects. His work spans planning, cultural practice, and strategic urban development—with a particular interest in self-organization, interstitial spaces, and complex approval processes, for which he enjoys finding ways to make seemingly impossible projects feasible after all. In his master’s thesis, he explored a topic that remains the most exciting to him: the potential of the disorderly, the unplanned, and the unpredictable. Which, if you are completely honest as a planner, encompasses the vast majority of things—provided, of course, that you have the ambition to plan for the future. And only if you are honest. In addition to his work at Endboss, he is a professor of “Sustainable Cities and Communities” at the University of Kassel.

Lennie grew up in the countryside in the Hanover region, where he took to the “boards that mean the world” at an early age—on a skateboard in the farm’s own barn and on stage in his parents’ theater projects. He later appeared in various commercials and film productions in Berlin, some featuring well-known casts. He made his acting breakthrough with Ulrich Köhler’s “Bungalow,” for which he even won international awards. However, because he disliked the “doorbell cleaning” at castings, he preferred to return to the other board, which also means the world to him: the skateboard. And he went quite far with it, too, traveling the world from 1998 to 2018 as a professional for various sponsors (including Nike, Cleptomanix, and Radio Skateboard). Photos from his active days can be found in over 200 issues of various skateboard magazines. And because Lennie obviously doesn’t do things by halves, he designed and built his first ramps at the age of 13 and—how could it be otherwise?—has been part of the DIY skate movement since the very beginning. As a self-taught professional, he has acquired extensive knowledge in timber construction, concrete construction, design, and visualization, as well as experience with one or two urban spaces. He also holds a diploma from the International Street University in Streetsmarts and a Master of Skatearts. At endboss, he naturally oversees skatepark planning and frequently produces designs that are celebrated both nationally and internationally.

David studied landscape architecture and environmental planning in Erfurt and earned his master’s degree in landscape architecture at Leibniz University Hannover. He began working as a teaching assistant while still pursuing his bachelor’s degree and gained his first experience at a planning firm—with an early focus on skatepark design. Skating has been a part of his life since his youth, as has hands-on work with materials: through working with steel, he developed a keen sense of construction and craftsmanship at an early age. Alongside his studies, David was active in various fields—including managing a bar, working in variety shows, and serving as a swimming and surfing instructor. These diverse experiences and travels sharpened his eye for social spaces, movement, and user-centered design. During his master’s program, he began working as a student intern at endboss and quickly became involved in skatepark projects. Today, he manages skatepark and schoolyard planning projects there—with a focus on open spaces that promote physical activity and inclusivity, combining social, functional, and design requirements.

Santiago studied landscape architecture at Leibniz University Hannover and worked as a teaching assistant and research assistant at the Institute of Landscape Architecture during his studies. He has been with endboss since spring 2021, where, following his time as a student assistant, he now provides ongoing support for various projects in service phases 1–5 in open space planning. As a planner born in Colombia, Santiago pursues decolonial approaches and brings a transcultural perspective to design more equitable and collective spaces that challenge power relations and give visibility to diverse voices. In doing so, he takes into account the needs of all living beings as well as the material, ecological, and social contexts. In addition to his professional work, Santiago is involved in grassroots democratic and political initiatives to promote social and ecological justice and global solidarity.

Luise is studying architecture at Leibniz University Hannover and has just completed her bachelor’s degree. She is supporting Endboss as part of an internship at Stadtlabor Wittenberg. Luise loves it when big ideas become real spaces. What particularly appeals to her about Endboss is that what often remains a utopian ideal during her studies actually happens here: trying things out, negotiating, and implementing.
