Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

• #41 Adam Khan (UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Let’s travel to London, United Kingdom, to meet Adam Khan, founder of Adam Khan Architects since 2006.  Adam aims to take architecture where it doesn’t normally go. “We have a lot to toggle, as architects, without having to leave our discipline”. But how can architecture extend elsewhere solely through architectural means? It's about doing it through the discipline of architecture, “not using architecture as a way to illustrate some other thing.” But then… how do you incorporate the program, context, and situation without compromising its autonomy as a discipline? “There is much not under your control, you are kind of riding a runaway horse.” Architecture is such an imaginary guess, sometimes. The most amazing thing is noticing that “someone actually bothered doing that.”Guest: Adam Khan, Adam Khan Architects (UK)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram @arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.

• #40 Heide von Beckerath (DE ), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Let’s travel to germany to meet the architectural practice Heide von Beckerath, today represented by Verena von Beckerath.  Housing has been a never-ending topic in their practice. “When we started working with collective housing projects it was something new. (…) lately,I found out, collective housing is something that everyone is talking about”.They are not claiming to be the pioneers of the attention now being given to the housing issue. However, they have long been aware that certain aspects have either never been applied to housing or have been forgotten in the discussion. Using their words:  “Its not something that we have invented, its something that is there but maybe has never been applied to housing in that way.”Sometimes “a single word can change the acceptance of an architecture approach.”Sometimes, its not very clear who has to water the plants.Every time, “as architects, we always have to be a little ahead of things.”“Housing…I mean…this is probably what we have to do in the next years.But this does not mean that there is change in what we see that is built.That is the next step.”Guest: Verena von Beckerath + Tim Heide, Heide von Beckerath (DE)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram@arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.CREDITSTwo Houses2019, 38 minDirector: Verena von BeckerathAssistant directors: Niklas Fanelsa, Momoko Yasaka, Maximilian von ZepelinCamera, Sound, Editing: Jens FrankeProduced by: Bauhaus-Universität WeimarVerena von Beckerath (ed.), A Room with a View, Monroe Books, Berlin 2023with contributions by Andrew Alberts, Ludovico Centis, Lawrence Hoque, Albrecht Kastein, Oda Pälmke and Yvonne Matijas Seguso

• #39 Neiheiser Argyros (EL+UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  In this episode we travel to both Greece (EL) and London (UK), where we can Neiheiser Argyros, this time under the voice of Ryan Neiheiser. Repetition and diference is a long-time interest of theirs. They don't bother looking at things over and over again, “there is something about repetition that might lead to something unexpected”. However, in other to find the unexpected “you have to completely invest yourself in an idea and totally believe that it can exist in the world”. “A big part of finding new ideas is about copying interesting ideas”. Interesting, I might copy this idea myself. Once we explore the idea of “reuse”, Ryan brings a new, and more precise, word to the table: spolia. “We have been trying to make use of the word “spolia” to nuance the idea of “reuse”.” And they will keep on doing it over and over again.Guest: Ryan Neiheiser + Xristina Argyros, Neiheiser Argyros (EL + UK)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram@arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.

• #38 Atelier Local (PT), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Next stop: Portugal, to meet Maria Rebelo and João Paupério, whom together in 2019, have founded Atelier Local. Have you ever though about gosht writing applied to architecture? Maybe its more common than we think. What is style? Maybe, “style is what allows you to go further (…) if you repeat a same way of addressing an issue, your mind gets liberated to address other issues. “Your own limitations travel with you wherever you go. Maybe that is what style is. (…) that’s the only way you know how to solve a problem.” “Style is a limitation”. Maybe. “Once you start to reflect upon that, you start to use it more properly.” For sure. “We know a little bit about Palladio but we also know a little bit about ugly kitchens from our grandmothers.” The real question here is: how local is Leroy Merlin?Guest: Maria Rebelo + João Paupério , Atelier Local (Valongo, PT)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram@arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.

• #37 WOJR (USA), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Next stop, Massachusetts (USA) were we met Willian O’Brien Jr, who has been developing his architectonic vision under the name WOJR since 2013. They understand their work more as an intellectual project that has a kind of business by-product. “We think of architecture first and foremost as an act of cultural production”, they say. “To rehearse” is probably one of their favourite activities. They rehearse ideas over and over, as they are “hoping to find an aspect of that project that helps [them] do something that [they] wouldn’t do otherwise”. “What is unique about a thing becomes the lens which all decisions get made.” Metaphorically speaking, something very similar to pealing an onion and finding a new layer every time. “We hope those ideas find their way into other projects.” But is there space for “rehearsing” during construction?  ”I don’t think there is a 1-to-1 correspondence between the visualisation and the built work. One is aspirational and projective and other is, let’s say, much more opportunistic and discoverable. “That’s something I have been thinking about a lot. What is the status of the visualisation once the work is built.” Nevertheless, keep in mind that “it can be iterated, it can be rehearsed.”Guest: William O’Brien Jr. , WOJR (Massachusetts, USA)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram@arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.
