Enno Pötschke & Lisa van Heyden

Enno Pötschke and Lisa van Heyden are a spatial design duo based between Amsterdam and Berlin, combining backgrounds in visual communication and architecture. They met at the Sandberg Instituut’s Studio for Immediate Spaces in 2023, where they began a collaborative practice shaped by shared interests in spatial research, ecological urgencies and critical engagement with infrastructural space.
Enno’s work explores the material and symbolic dimensions of infrastructure, using elemental substances like sand and concrete to investigate the physical and cultural foundations of built environments. Lisa’s practice navigates the intersection of architecture and art, focusing on invisible infrastructures and the environmental narratives they carry, creating spatial interventions that reveal the ecological and social systems behind them. Together, they integrate these perspectives to question and reimagine the relationships between material, space and socio-ecological conditions.
A recent achievement includes the Pizza Table (2024), a collaborative project for the Critical Studies Department at the Sandberg Instituut. Designed as a round table to support collective learning and non-hierarchical gatherings, it accommodates the entire department in a shared space.
