Letâs 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. âWhen we started working with collective housing projects it was something new. (âŠ) lately,I found out, collective housing is something that everyone is talking aboutâ. 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: âIts not something that we have invented, its something that is there but maybe has never been applied to housing in that way.â Sometimes âa single word can change the acceptance of an architecture approach.â Sometimes, its not very clear who has to water the plants. Every time, âas architects, we always have to be a little ahead of things.â âHousingâŠI meanâŠthis 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.â Guest: Verena von Beckerath + Tim Heide, Heide von Beckerath (DE) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram@arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture.
