Habi practice حبي is a queer-feminist, power-critical, and anti-racist architectural research and design practice we founded together with Sarah Hachem. Positioned at the intersection of architecture, art, research, and pedagogy, habi practice critically examines the entanglements of social, spatial, and environmental justice. The practice challenges dominant narratives and deconstructs colonial legacies embedded in the built environment while investigating themes such as race, memory, and identity through architectural frameworks.
Habi practice has led a wide range of projects, including seminars, workshops, and guest lecture series at institutions like the University of the Arts Berlin and the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt. Their work engages with the complexities of urban spaces, focusing on addressing injustices and historical erasures in collaboration with communities and initiatives such as Dekoloniale in Berlin. By centering topics like the restitution of stolen cultural artifacts, land reparations, and reclaiming public space, habi practice seeks to foster critical discourse and transformative action within and beyond architectural frameworks.
