Notas do episódio

#21 TEN (CH+SRB), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD Our 21st stop is both somewhere in-between Zurich (Switzerland), Belgrade (Serbia) and an online group chat. TEN is many things…and during our conversation we try to uncover even more of what TEN can become. How can the idea of a boat give the name TEN to an architecture practice? How would it be like to have an architecture practice like a record label? What about a football team? Is doing "what interests us” a realistic thing to do? In other words…how can we develop a project to resist for 500-years when no such client or brief will ever request us such a timeframe? “No-one is thinking about having building which is so resilient, and so much wanted, that it can last 500 years: it’s way over the generations’ lifespans, over the organisations’ timelines.” “We should be the ones that are on the edge, projecting a vision and thinking more than just a service. This is where architecture can thrive.” We talk about structure, but not necessarily about that kind of structure buildings have. We talk about an idea for a tower, images of a tower…but was this tower ever constructed? “We are happy to contribute to the discourse in our profession. We don’t have to take it as a kind of “did we build it first? or last? Actually, we want to be taken over by others more often.” “By making it public someone can pick it up and do it again and again and again.” Guest: Nemanja Zimonjić, Scott Lloyd, Lukas Burkhart , Fabian Launer, Cyrill Wechsler, Tijana Mačkić , TEN (Zurich, CH + Belgrade, SRB) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture.
