The BETEBO - Berlin Techno Booth is a mobile installation that reflects the vibrant atmosphere of Berlin’s techno music scene. Positioned in urban areas, the booth serves as a space for artistic expression and social gathering, aiming to connect with the pulsating energy of nightlife. The design emphasizes accessibility and interaction, utilizing a trailer as its base to allow for easy movement between various locations.

Structural Design
The booth is anchored on a black used trailer, with a platform featuring green rubber flooring. This choice is practical and visually engaging. A cut-out in the rear deck, along with a green footboard, provides straightforward access to the interior, encouraging user interaction. The high timber frame uses overlapping yellow colored formwork panels to create the cabin, resulting in a lively appearance that captures attention while maintaining structural support.



Interior Features
Inside, walls and ceilings covered with black fabric contribute to an immersive atmosphere. This material helps manage sound while enhancing the overall look of the space. The design allows enough vertical height for comfortable movement, making it easy for visitors to enjoy the experience. LED lights positioned in the corners create varied illumination, adapting to the energy of different events throughout the night.



Material and Aesthetic Considerations
The yellow colored formwork panels can be reused, highlighting an aspect of sustainability in the design. The exterior features stencils that make the booth resemble a large flight case, linking it visually to the music culture it serves. This design choice connects the architecture to the materials found in musical equipment, reinforcing its role in performance settings.



Technical Integration
The BETEBO’s design incorporates various technical elements. An external waterproof power socket allows for convenient access to electricity. Internally, black cable channels cleanly conceal wiring, maintaining a tidy look. An app adds functionality, enabling users to open the booth, start lighting displays, and stream techno music directly. The low-pitched, slightly overhanging screen printing plate roof offers flexibility for indoor and outdoor use, accommodating the diverse environments where the booth may be positioned.

The Next House: USA — A Global Call to Reimagine the American Suburb

`
Competition organisers

Buildner is launching The Next House: USA, a global architecture competition that challenges architects, designers, and thinkers to reimagine the American suburban home for the 21st century. For decades, the suburban house has symbolized comfort and stability, but today it often reflects excess, isolation, and environmental strain. This competition asks: how can the American home evolve to address climate urgency, economic pressures, and shifting social values?

Participants are tasked with designing a prototype home of no more than 1,500 sq ft (≈140 m²) for a household of two adults and one child. The design should be compact yet generous, adaptable, sustainable, affordable, and replicable across diverse U.S. contexts. More than a design exercise, the competition aims to spark a conversation about how homes can support healthier, smarter, and more connected communities.

The total prize fund is $20,000 USD. The final registration deadline is May 20, 2026, and winners will be announced on September 22, 2026. The Next House: USA invites architects, students, and visionaries worldwide to redefine what the American home means today—and what it should mean tomorrow.
