#27 Boltshauser Architekten (DE+CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Our 27th stop is at Boltshauser Architekten (Munich, Germany) alongside Roger Boltshauser. For Boltshauser, to have an order is a must have. “I always look for order.” But is order enough? “If I have an order, I am happy but I am not happy enough, so I try to find ways out of this order.” He even puts the words in the right order when he concludes: “Order maybe needs disorder”. Maybe. Maybe it’s not the case they are looking for a balance, but rather looking for a strong character “and strong characters are often not that balanced…but they are interesting”. Every project is part of a bigger process. Which means that some issues from a particular project might find it’s answer in an project yet to come. Sometimes “we have already built the answer but we still can’t explain it in a racional way. The brain is not ready o understand but you still think it should be the way to go”. The strange thing comes when you have to build it…you did something…and now you have to build it even tho you are aware that some questions remain unanswered. “Sometimes the brain is not there yet”. I think this is a nice way to put it.

#26 EMBT (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Our 26th stop is at Enric Mirrales Benedetta Tagliabue - EMBT (Barcelona, SP) alongside Benedetta Tagliabue. Sometimes, EMBT are attracted by something very simple. Therefore, they allow themselves to be a little bit like a child just to permite these ideas to emerge. “Maintaining the lightness of the first idea is a very very tough work”. And that is exactly what they work for “Projects, specially if they have a very long time or have many people involved, they have a tendency of getting diluted.” “Enrique used to consider projects as alive beings, as a child. (…) So, in a way, projects need this attention as if they are people, they need to be looked after, they need to be helped in the difficult moments of their growing.” Did you know that some projects are selfish, a good kind of selfish? Did you know that some big roofs were supped to be even bigger then ended up being? Did you know that some projects are “nearly finished” and “have been nearly finished for 5 years”? “You need a lot of strength to maintain things into its pureness and beauty.” Guest: Benedetta Tagliabue - EMBT (Barcelona, Spain) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture.

#25 SO-IL (NY, USA), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

On episode 25 we think architecture alongside SO-IL, in the voice of Summer Liu. SO-IL are constantly pushing the boundaries...literally the physical boundaries...with them we learn boundaries are not just made by walls or windows. Just when you think they've reached the limit, their next project pushes it even further. They have the right amount of madness to pursue things outside of architecture until that one moment they surrender and become into architecture form. “Once you have an intuition, its about working with the real world knowledge and then learn from the people that will eventually make the thing.” When you do so, you can find a way to make metal mesh rings relevant for architecture, against all odds (for it’s weight, for it’s scale, for it’s production…). “It’s like Avatars, they just touch each other and then see what happens there. You have to find a bridge that equalizes the two pieces of information.” “There is physicality to the abstract questions we ask.”…and it shows in every project.

#24 Denise Scott Brown (USA), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

On episode 24th we’ll Learn from Denise, which means we’ll be learning from Las Vegas…and South Africa…and Italy…and England…and Philadelphia…and every single street and person she has passed by. “Do you know the word “serendipity”? It means something that happens unexpectedly and that could be a great thing.” We talk about how the almost demolished “Fisher Fine Arts Library” has brought together the super duo of architecture: Venturi & Scott Brown. “I would say we’ve have a big influence but Le Corbusier had an even bigger influence” Did you know there are 2 ways to think the city? Denise says the first is made by donkeys, the second is made by grids. After all, both are molded by "form, forces, and functions”. She even adds “in the end, the donkey is the functionalist.”. Actually, there is much more to function than to have the bathroom next to the bedroom. “It’s wonderful to make something beautiful. And you hope you can make it both.”. Oh Denise…what a mannerist 3. “Sometimes I want to be as beautiful as princess Margaret. You take this pretty princess, you take her a photo (…) and she is wearing diamonds…only when you get near her you get that the diamonds are celofane paper.” “Sometimes you have to break things.” Oh Denise…what a mannerist 3. I took notes of a little something: “Remember your memories as a baby, they are valuable to you in your architecture. Don’t forget those, take them with you.” I kept this advice in my pocket. I hope you do too. Learning from Denise.

#23 Sergei Tchoban (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Let’s travel to both Berlin (Germany) to meet the architect / drawer / collector of drawings / museum director Sergei Tchoban. Sergei Tchoban has a sery simple trick to discover architecture, he asks one simple question: “Would I want to draw this project?” In fact, he draws a lot and for a number of reasons, one of them being: to remember “to draw by hand is a way to later remember certain proportions when we are drawing our own projects”. Unlike what we might think…it might be easier to draw historical buildings than contemporary ones. In the former, any mistaken line can be understood as a detail of the facade of that building. Meanwhile, in the later, in a contemporary building you either have the line right or wrong. We talk about cats in Le Corbusier’s “Swiss Pavilion”. We talk about toilets in Nicolas Ledoux’s “La Rotunde du Parc de Monceau”. We also talk about possible connections with Piranesi’s dystopias - but with a positive intake instead - and the very curious framings of Pietro di Gonzaga. “It is a mise-en-scène, architecture is an important part of mise-en-scène”.

#22 Harquitectes (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

#22 Harquitectes (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD Our 22nd stop is in Sabadell, Spain alongside Harquitectes, in the voice of Josep Ricart Ulldemolins. Harquitectes have the ability to design precise things with an abstract approach and abstract things with a very precise approach. I would risk to say that, for them, it is the same to draw a brick as it is to draw temperature. Every project is a new hypothesis on constructed conditions combined with natural phenomenon. “When all of these come together, it is more then just a basic survival experience, it is something closer to the extraordinary.” In the beginning of the office, maybe, their approach to the vernacular was one of aesthetics. But they’ve gradually started to discover the hidden reasons behind the vernacular look. “We don’t produce nothing new…maybe a new experiences, maybe a new typology but…” But isn’t this producing something new?…I wonder. “When you don’t plaster the brick, you get the memory of someone placing one brick over the other. That is why our buildings never have the feeling of something new, you have, at least, the time of the construction.” Maybe vernacular is not a thing of the past, maybe we are the vernacular of tomorrow. “I hope that we are producing some new vernacular.” Guest: Josep Ricart Ulldemolins - Harquitectes (Sabadell, Spain) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Sponsor: Duo-Thermo Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture.

#21 TEN (CH+SRB), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

#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.

#20 operadora (MX+USA), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Our 20th stop is in Mexico and/or New York (UK), alongside Edgar Rodriguez, with whom we develop on the idea of media, transmedia and intermedia. Let’s picture architecture as a system, not a perfect system but one that incorporated chance - it is always being fixed, improved, broken apart and put together. “Its all about focusing on the process and the different variations that could result from those processes.” “Every project has its own system, with its own set of rules and then the final result is only one instance of that combination of elements (…) It is not a singular instance that is the right one, it’s wherever you decide were the process ends and you move on to the next stage of the project.” Have you ever thought about building a fictional building for real? What about building a fictional building? What makes an idea relevant to architecture after all? Can a House without an interior be an architectural idea if no space is being defined? Looking around, or onto social media, Edgar notices something I have never heard anyone say so directly “it’s almost like all the architects are the same architect and we are all producing the same type of work.” Are we all just producing many instances of the same project?
