Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

• #43 Iván Bravo (CL), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Let’s travel to Santiago, Chile, to meet Iván Bravo whom back in 2002 has founded Iván Bravo Arquitectos, now alongside his associate architect Martin Rojas. Once upon a time Iván noticed he was really interested in the process of the work…even more than its outcome. Polemic. Isn’t it curious that “in art, ”obra” is the final work” (obra de arte /masterpiece) meanwhile, “in architecture, “obra” is the process” (construction site). “It was really interesting to understand that one final work, which we call “obra”, is all the process, including the end”, he says. But can an “obra” (as a construction site) even become an “obra” (masterpiece)? After all, their clients “are not clients that want architecture, they just want a house.” Maybe this is all about getting “lebre por gato”. In other words, “to get something better than you expect to”. Maybe its about cousins who spot Toblerone’s in architecture projects. “We are constantly mixing rationality with intuition, of course.” “The publication of an architecture, the final photos, are a fetichism of the whole process.”Guest: Iván Bravo (Santiago, Chile)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram @arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.

• #42 Ryan W Kennihan (IE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Let’s travel to Dublin, Ireland, where Ryan W Kennihan - originally from Chicago - has established his practice in 2007.  Ryan is much more interested in an architecture of resonance then in one that is completely self-involved. “Whatever “non-referencial architecture” means, it is the complete opposite of this”. An architecture of resonance is a certain sense that arises from using forms that exist all over the world. Their practice is about a constant meaning giving. “We want as many as possible, a proliferation of references”. At a certain point we might find ourselves questioning if we are taking part in the evolution or just continuously extending a mistake. One cannot be sorry, “its very much about looking forward and looking back, trying to be old and be new; to be refined and be awkward.” “What’s interesting to me is not the framework itself but actually the variations within the framework.Guest: Ryan W Kennihan, Ryan W.

• #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.
