    Sigurd Larsen — The Courage to Build Your Own Path | BEYOND FORM

    "I had six weeks of money left in the bank when I started my own studio." Most architects wait for a safety net. Sigurd Larsen did the opposite. After training with industry giants like OMA (Rem Koolhaas), MVRDV, and COBE, Sigurd walked away during a recession with nothing but a plan. In this episode, we dive into the raw reality of building an international architecture and furniture studio from scratch. Sigurd shares the story of how a single wooden box, The Shrine, became his "Trojan Horse" into the industry, and why he believes the era of the ego-driven "Star Architect" is officially over. In this episode, we discuss: The Leap: Quitting a stable job with zero financial security. The Strategy: How furniture design can lead to massive architectural projects. The Myth: Why the "Hollywood version" of an architect is toxic for the industry. The Survival: Sleeping in the office and the power of sharing ideas. Whether you are a student, a young designer, or someone looking to take a massive career risk, Sigurd’s journey is a masterclass in creative resilience.
