Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

• #44 AMAA (IT), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

  Let’s travel to Venice and Arzignano to meet Marcello Galiotto and Alessandra Rampasso, founding partners of AMAA, a “Collaborative Architecture Office For Research and Development” as they call it. They have recently stated working form New York, as they thought that would be a good pretext to be closer to Donald Judd’s aura. “Instagram fully fills our mind, so it’s not easy to select”. Therefore, they’ve developed their own toolbox, the "AMAA box” - which they progressively disclosure on throughout the episode. “To have a proper selection is important, so we do our selection of a lot of things”. At the end, “all these influences create a language.” There are 3 main pieces: a site, an architect and a client.  “All these 3 things need to work together”. “To be trustable with a client you need to be a storyteller, thats the first thing. But you also need to be humble and practical. (…) The client needs to be with us for the research, for the process, for the after”. The process is good, but the after is the best part, they claim. Let’s not for get about the site, as that is the place where they best express their way of thinking. “We really love to dirty up the situation”. On one hand, “we need to be thinkers but at the same time we need to be builders”. On the other hand, “from a functional problem you can find a way to be also aesthetic”. What goes around comes back around. “The reference is giving to you the power of detail, the power of keeping up your way of thinking and your intuition.”Guest: Marcello Galiotto + Alessandra Rampazzo  (Venice + Arzignano, Italy)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram @arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.

• #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
