Architekturfotografie
## **Architekturfotografie Workshop – Architektur mit der Kamera neu entdecken**
Der *Architekturfotografie Workshop* zeigt dir, wie Du Gebäude und Bauwerke eindrucksvoll in Szene setzen kannst. Du lernst, Innen- und Außenaufnahmen bewusst zu gestalten, architektonische Details fotografisch zu interpretieren und Deine persönliche Bildsprache zu entwickeln. Architekturfotografie ist weit mehr als reine Dokumentation – sie verbindet Technik, Kreativität und ein geschultes Auge für Formen, Linien und Perspektiven.
Im Workshop nutzen wir die Architekturfotografie als Medium des forschenden Sehens. Das bedeutet: Du arbeitest sowohl intuitiv-künstlerisch als auch mit klaren fotografischen Entscheidungen. Ziel ist es, dreidimensionale Architektur in ausdrucksstarke zweidimensionale Bilder zu übersetzen, die Atmosphäre, Proportionen und Strukturen einer Bauweise sichtbar machen.
Nach einer fundierten theoretischen Einführung setzen wir die Grundlagen sofort in die Praxis um. Auf einer Exkursion fotografierst Du frei nach eigenem Konzept und erhältst gezielte Aufgaben, um neue Techniken zu erlernen. Dadurch entwickelst Du Sicherheit im Umgang mit Perspektive, Belichtung, Bildausschnitt und Komposition. Die entstandenen Fotos und Bildserien werden im Kurs gemeinsam besprochen, sodass Du wertvolles Feedback erhältst und deine fotografischen Fähigkeiten gezielt verbessern kannst.
**Ablauf des Architekturfotografie Workshops:**
* **Tag 1:** Theorie – Einführung in die Architekturfotografie, Grundlagen und Technikvermittlung im Lette Verein. Praxis – erste Fotoübungen in Schöneberg.
* **Tag 2:** Exkursion – vielfältige Innen- und Außenaufnahmen, gezielte Übungen zur Architektur- und Detailfotografie.
* **Tag 3:** Theorie – Präsentation und Analyse der bearbeiteten und unbearbeiteten Fotos mit Fokus auf Konzeption, Serien, Bildausschnitte und Präsentation. Praxis – gemeinsames Fotografieren im Lette Verein.
Der Workshop richtet sich an Fotografie-Einsteiger:innen ebenso wie an Fortgeschrittene, die ihre Kenntnisse in der Architekturfotografie vertiefen möchten. Ob für künstlerische Projekte, berufliche Anwendungen oder als neue kreative Ausdrucksform – dieser Kurs vermittelt Dir alle Grundlagen, um Architektur bewusst wahrzunehmen und fotografisch festzuhalten.
**Lerne, Architektur mit neuen Augen zu sehen – und sie mit der Kamera ausdrucksstark einzufangen.**
Bitte bringt eine Kamera mit und optional zur Exkursion ein Stativ.

Presentation Lab - Structured Communication Training for Professionals
This is an [in-person communication lab](https://www.presentation-school.com/berlin-presentation-lab) that helps professionals speak clearly and confidently under pressure using proven methods.
Most people don’t struggle because they don’t practice enough. They struggle because they practice without the right principles. This session focuses on deliberate, guided practice informed by performance psychology, neuroscience, and modern communication training.
**What You Will Do**
* Learn one science-based communication principle that improves real-world performance.
* Train that principle in structured speaking exercises designed for skill development.
* Receive clear, professional feedback you can apply immediately.
Practice and feedback are guided by experienced communication professionals who work with executives and senior professionals.
This is not peer-to-peer feedback or open discussion.
**Who Should Attend?**
* Non-native English speakers
* Professionals who present, lead meetings, or speak up at work
* Anyone who overthinks, freezes, or loses clarity under pressure
* People who want structured improvement, not just repetition
No prior experience is required.
**What This is NOT**
* A lecture.
* A motivational talk.
* A public performance.
* Unstructured open practice.
* Peer-led feedback or opinion-based critique.
**Before The Session**
Before the session, participants complete a short preparation form to clarify their goals and common communication challenges. This helps ensure the practice and feedback during the lab are as relevant and effective as possible.
**Optional:** Participants may submit a short video (1–2 minutes) or written questions. This is optional and used to personalise focus areas and examples during the session. No individual coaching is provided.
**After the Session**
Participants receive a short follow-up pack with key takeaways, practical drills, a reflection question, and guidance on next steps.
**Practical Information**
Language: English
Duration: 2 hours
Format: In-person, structured group lab
Address: Chausseestraße 86, 10115 Berlin
Healthy snacks and water provided.

Understanding secondary progressions
Join us for an insightful astrology meetup where we’ll explore the powerful predictive technique of *secondary progressions*.
Secondary progressions are a symbolic timing method in astrology that shows how your birth chart develops over time. Each planet moves forward at a different rate, reflecting its natural speed. The progressed Moon moves quite quickly—about a degree per month—highlighting shifts in mood and emotional focus, while the Sun and other planets move more slowly, describing longer phases of personal growth and change.
In this session, we’ll cover:
✨ What secondary progressions are and how they work
✨ The difference between your natal chart and progressed chart
✨ Key progressed elements (Sun, Moon, Ascendant, and personal planets)
✨ How shifts in planetary motion show up—such as a progressed planet turning retrograde or direct, signaling internal turning points or changes in direction
✨ How to interpret major progressed changes (like a progressed Moon sign shift or progressed Sun changes)
✨ Practical ways to use progressions for self-awareness and decision-making
Secondary progressions don’t predict events in a literal sense—they reflect your *inner timing* and readiness for change. They help answer questions like:
* Why am I feeling different lately?
* What phase of life am I in?
* Where is my personal growth leading me next?
🪐 Bring your birth details if you’d like to follow along with your own chart!
**Guidelines**:
– Start: 18:30 sharp (arrive earlier if you like)
– Please stay on the topic of astrology
– Respect, warmth, and honesty are essential
– Kindly RSVP in advance, as we need to confirm with the venue
Warm regards,
Finja, Maca, Sara & Julian
*We collect a 5€ cash contribution on site to support the platform costs.*

Rust Berlin Talks: The next generation
Hello everyone,
Due to popular request (and some other reasons, like venue availability and available organiser capacity), we’re happy to announce that the Rust Berlin talk meetups are back. This is the classic meetup format: let’s meet in the evening see 2 speakers and then spend some idle time chatting about what we heard.
The first speaker for the first edition will be our co-organiser Florian Gilcher, speaking about “Unsafe demystified”, a gentle introduction into handing unsafe code properly.
Soares Chen will talk about the current revision of Context Generic, their framework for context generic programming: https://contextgeneric.dev
We are also available for new talks, in particular of people who never gave a public talk. We’re happy to be your first talk location.
The new meetup is currently organised by Florian and Liran, who is a new co-organiser at Rust Berlin.
JetBrains was so kind to offer us their office location as a default meeting point. Thank you!
We’re looking forward to getting the ball rolling again!
See you all on April 1st!
**Line-Up**
Unsafe demystified by Florian Gilcher
This is a beginner- to mid-level talk that explains the basics of unsafe and how to program it.
Instead of going fully into it all details of unsafe, this talk teaches you easy to digest mental frameworks to use when approaching your next unsafe code block.
Supercharge Rust functions with CGP implicit arguments by Soares Chen
I will give a short overview of the new implicit arguments feature for Context-Generic Programming (CGP), which enables structural typing in Rust. Some short example demos will be presented, followed by some explanation of how the feature works.
**Speaker Bios**
Florian Gilcher
Florian Gilcher used to be part of the Rust team at several positions and served as a member of the Rust Foundation board. He is also a co-founder of the Rust Berlin meetup. Today, he’s training Rust at Ferrous Systems, a company he co-founded.
Soares Chen Soares is a Rust programmer with a strong interest in functional programming, type theory, and programming language design. He is the creator of Context-Generic Programming and currently works as a Rust engineer at Tensordyne.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
