This week we travel to Athens, Greece, to meet Konstantinos Pantazis, co-founder of Point Supreme, alongside Marianna Rentzou.They claim that “architects nowadays have forgotten their larger social role” as it is not just about buildings but the city as a whole.

This episode, we travel to Zurich, Switzerland, to meet Pablo Donet, who together with Tim Schäfer and Tanja Reimerfounded Donet Schäfer Reimer Architekten (DOSCRE) in 2018.Their work doesn’t begin with a manifesto. “It’s not about dogmas,” they say. “It’s things we find out by doing things.” Drawing becomes a way of thinking. “Only by drawing, and drawing and drawing again, you suddenly see somet
#55 ULTRA STUDIO (JP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This episode, we travel to Tokyo, Japan, to meet Yuji Mukaiyama, Alyssa Ueno and Yushi Sasada, founders of ULTRA STUDIO, established in 2018. As a young practice, they work from within contradiction; not to resolve it too quickly, but to let it shape the project.“The client always wants something contradictory,” they say. Between one demand and another, they search for a bridge. “We try to move fr
#54 MVRDV (NL), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today, we travel to Rotterdam to meet Fokke Moerel, partner at MVRDV, a practice known for questioning limits, expanding what architecture can be, and asking, relentlessly: “why not?”.In their work, boundaries never arrive pre-set. “This kind of pre-set boundaries or rules is something that we don’t have.” Every project begins with orientation: “Where are we? First you have to understand where yo
#53 SUMMACUMFEMMER (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today, we travel to Leipzig, Germany, to meet Anne Femmer and Florian Summa, founders of SUMMACUMFEMMER. Their work resists distance - between drawing and construction, theory and action, doubt and decision. “We like that there is a much deeper connection between planning and actually building it.”Architecture, for them, begins with questions. “The question is: how many questions can you take and
#52 MacIver-ek Chevroulet (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This week, we travel to Neuchâtel, Zurich and Lausanne to meet Anna MacIver-ek and Axel Chevroulet, the duo behind MacIver-ek Chevroulet. Their practice seeks “precision as a tool to achieve an architecture sensitive to its context and generous to its users” - yet for them, precision is inseparable from freedom.Where lies the balance between control and release? “Sometimes you go to the toilet and
#51 Olsson Lyckefors Arkitekter (SE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This week, we travel to Gothenburg and Stockholm, Sweden, to meet Johan Olsson and Andreas Lyckefors, co-founders of Olsson Lyckefors Arkitekter.

They pay attention to the quirky, the overlooked, the oddly specific. “There are ideas in these quirky things, that’s why we collect them.” But collecting is only the beginning. For AMUNT, these observations become operative: “to transfer means th
#49 Christ & Gantenbein (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today, we travel to Zurich to meet Emanuel Christ, who, together with Christoph Gantenbein, founded Christ & Gantenbein in 1998.With them, I learned that “form is communication”. As Aristotle would say it as a syllogism: “Form is language. Language is communication. Therefore, form is communication.”But can we truly communicate if we invent our own language? Or if we aim for anonymity in the f
#48 Atelier Kempe Thill (NL/FR/CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This week, let’s travel to Rotterdam, Paris and Zurich to meet André Kempe and Oliver Thill, two German architects who founded Atelier Kempe Thill in 2000.Talking about simplicity can be a complex task — but today, we take on that challenge.

#47 Enrico Sassi (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Let’s travel to Lugano, Switzerland, to meet Enrico Sassi — architect, landscaper, teacher of Urban Design at USI in Mendrisio, and editor of “archi”, a Swiss magazine of architecture and urban planning.

Let’s travel to Zurich to meet Maria Conen and Raoul Sigl, working together since 2011 under the name Conen Sigl Architekten.

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.

Therefor
#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” i
#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 ex
#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 arc
#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.

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 completel
#38 Atelier Local (PT), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Next stop: Portugal, to meet Maria Rebelo and João Paupério, whom together in 2019, have founded Atelier Local. Have you ever though about gosht writing applied to architecture? Maybe its more common than we think. What is style? Maybe, “style is what allows you to go further (…) if you repeat a same way of addressing an issue, your mind gets liberated to address other issues. “Your own limitatio
#37 WOJR (USA), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Next stop, Massachusetts (USA) were we met Willian O’Brien Jr, who has been developing his architectonic vision under the name WOJR since 2013. They understand their work more as an intellectual project that has a kind of business by-product. “We think of architecture first and foremost as an act of cultural production”, they say. “To rehearse” is probably one of their favourite activities. They
#36 E2A (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Next stop, Zurich (CH) alongside Piet Eckert, whom together with Wim Eckert founded E2A. Can a building ever be abstract? Can an idea ever be concrete? What about a model, how abstract can a model be? “The abstraction of a thought leads to an architectural strategy, we can produce a model that keeps this abstraction.” With such a wide range of thoughts…how to keep our focus? Piet says he as “fou
#35 FELT (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today we travel to Ghent (Belgium) to meet with Jasper Stevens and Karel Verstraenten whom, together have founded FELT architecture & design, back in 2014. FELT favors the 'in between', creating objects and projects that oscillate between between architecture and design, scale and scaleless, between function the fiction. They “see scenography as an architectural commission”, what about vice-v
#34 EMI (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Next stop, Zurich (CH) alongside Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, Christian Inderbitzin. You might better know them for the short-form EMI Architekten. The conversation starts on a high, discussing the difference between “concept” and “narrative”. Were you aware that there was a difference between one and the other? On one hand, “the concept, goes back to a very heroic era of architecture”. On the oth
#33 KOSMOS (www), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
For our 33rd stop, we’re going a bit all around the world with KOSMOS, an architecture practice whose tone is set by Leonid Slonimskiy and Artem Kitaev.
KOSMOS don’t do architecture as one is supposed to do architecture. Yet, they claim they do nothing new…everything they do “already exists”.
Rather than abstract statements, they focus on the specific issues within surrounding conditions, aimi
#32 Kawahara Krause Architects (DE+JP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
In our 32nd episode, we travel to Hamburg (Germany) and Tokyo (Japan) to meet Kawahara Tatsuya and a Ellen Kristina Krause, the minds behind Kawahara Krause Architects.

#31 ouest (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
On our 31st stop, we are travelling east, direction Brussels (BE)…or rather, to “ouest” to meet Stephan Damsin and Jans Harens, the duo behind “ouest architecture.”
ouest architecture thrives in the spaces left unfinished and unsolved, " there is a room for unsolved things and for a bit of ambiguity”. In their vision, not every problem has to be be fully solved. “We are interested in ways to rep
#30 b+ (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 30th stop is in Berlin (Germany), somewhere between a reconverted building and the next building to be reconverted. In fact, that is were we find B+. In fiction, we might also find them beyond the building, in station.plus. Olaf Grawert will take us through that.
To warm up, Olaf identifies 2 big groups of architects: both aim for “values” and “speculation” but their understanding of these
#29 Parabase (SP + CH + MX), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 29th stop is in Barcelona (Spain), Mexico City (Mexico) and Basel (Switzerland) alongside Pablo Garrido Arnaiz.Parabase have a very keen eye for picking up things and putting them out of place. At least out of their initially proposed place...to be place in a new place though out by them. “Decontextualisation is something we can find: in almost all contemporary art piece, in most of he songs w
#28 Ludwig Godefroy (MX + FR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 28th stop is in Mexico (Mexico), without forgetting Normandy (France) alongside Ludwig Godefroy.
What do pyramids from the pre-hispanic period and bunkers by the northern french sea have to do with each other? How can both of these come under the same architectural practice? “I have started to understand that pyramids and bunkers are kind of similar, to me.”
“Humanity has been doing pyrami
#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.
Ma
#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, speci
#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 archi
#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 togeth
#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 propo
#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
#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
#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 fro
#19 Tony Fretton (UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
#19 Tony Fretton (UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 19h stop is in London (UK), alongside the architect Tony Fretton, with whom we learn how to look, notice and absorb things. “I look at things and I can get a lot from just looking at things.”
“Like a paintier is interested in the history of painting, I am interested I the story of architecture. I am interested in the way buildings have e
#18 Bessire Winter (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 18th stop is in Feldbrunnen (Switzerland) alongside Céline Bessire and Matthias Winter. If you ever feel like discussing difficult words like “parallax”, they are the perfect counterpoint. Things are not what they seem, “things carry an ambivalence within themselves” and Parallex is all about shifting perspectives, “what we are trying to find is the parallactic qualities within the everyday sp
#17 HANGHAR (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
#17 HANGHAR (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 17h stop is at HANGHAR (Madrid, Spain) to meet Eduardo Mediero, he shares with us the intriguing philosophy of a firm that thrives on the ticking clock of a ten-year deadline, all activity will be ceased on 31st December 2030.
Throughout our conversation, we dissect how HANGHAR is flipping the script on real estate norms by designing apartmen
#16 aoa (KR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 16h stop is at aoa (Seoul, South Korea) to meet Jaewon Suh. To say “aoa” is the same as to say "architecture of anyone, anything and anywhere”.
For aoa, architecture is nothing. “When I say that architecture is nothing, it means that it is a very fundamental thing”, like air, for example.
As a reaction to Valerio Olgiaty ’s “non-referencial architecture”, a self-explanatory “hiper-referenci
#15 Richard Stampton (AU), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today, we cross the globe. In this episode we talk with the architect Richard Stampton.
Whom consciously decided: not to go into competitions; not to extensively show his work (which is different from hiding it); as well as to resist the urge to think further then what he is actually drawing.
Did you know this also a possible approach?
“I was very conscious, when I started my practice, to be smal
#14 GAFPA (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 14th stop is at GAFPA (Ghent, BE) alongside Floris de Bruyn.
GAFPA is recognisable for it’s pragmatic approach. But there is much more to it. Somehow, they always manage to uncover the specificity that hides behind generic approaches. It’s about “trying to make something specific with a generic tool”.
For every project, a primary structure.
But what is this “primary structure”? “The primary
#13 Experimental (PT), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 13th stop is in Porto (PT), alongside Elói Gonçalves, and in Zurich (CH), where António Mesquita is currently at.
A fast and furious architecture, not just because…but because the fast pace has excelled the competition, fast pace is eminent anywhere. Things are always very fast, as so, the faster you adapt…the better you keep up. “Change and adaptability is part of our genetics”, they claim.
#12 Takefumi Aida (JP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today we travel the longest way so far, today I am really honoured to welcome architect Takefumi Aida, born in Japan in 1937and, for 86 years, has never stopped playing.
I bring good and bad news.
Bad news first: age won't bring us certainties.
Now the good news: age won't bring us certainties.
After over 60 years thinking about architecture, Takefumi Aida confesses he is “continuously t
#11 Lütjens Padmanabhan (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 11th stop is at Lütjens Padmanabhan (Zurich, CH) alongside Oliver Lütjens and Thomas Pahmanbhan.
They experience the joy of building when they draw or build a model. To draw a line over a paper, to fold a paper into a model or to build out of folded metal sheets, is the exact same thing
Oliver and Thomas are extremely faithful to their 1:50 models, in their office, there is a saying: “The m
#10 Studio Muoto (FR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 10th stop is at Studio Muoto (Paris, FR) alongside Gilles Delalex.
Do you remember the last time you did something for the first time? “When you do something for the first time is when you have the most fun, so we are always hoping to touch new subjects.”
“The brief is a good start, but it is not the end.” So, even if the brief comes with a functional intent, it says very little about its out
#09 Max Otto Zitzelsberger (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 9th stop is in Munich (Germany) alongside Max Otto Zitzelsberger.
“Thinking about architecture can also be architecture”, so Max shares his visions through multiple drawings, paper models and eventual constructions.
Do you know those spaces you hold in your memory, yet you are not there anymore? Those spaces…are they space? It is not a space one can use but perhaps it is. “All the ideas you
#08 Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter (DK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 8th stop is at Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter (Frederiksberg, Denmark) alongside Sebastian Skovsted.
They seek to bridge the gap between building processes and architectural values by mixing ideas and techniques...and techniques and ideas. They give particular attention to detail, material assembly and the meaning of structure. But to be clear, they “don’t do structure for the sake of structure
#07 Buchner Bründler Architekten (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 7th stop is at Buchner Bründler Architekten (Basel , Switzerland) alongside Andreas Bründler.
Their practice puts all the common concepts into question: context, interior and exterior, in-between spaces, materiality, old and new...but all these general concepts are treated in a very specific way. In a way, archetypes turn out to be prototypes. “To make space is one of the major architectural
#06 Jo Taillieu Architecten (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 6th stop is at Jo Taillieu Architecten (Ghent , BE) alongside Jo Taillieu.
His architecture is as an open engine as every project deals with the logics of construction right from the beginning and might be even left exposed. “Every project has to be a new research” and these discoveries should be left in plain sight. I suspect that if he was a doctor he would easily do open heart surgeries an
#05 Coci Studio (CH+UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 5th stop is at Coci Studio (Lausanne, CH + UK) alongside Camile Bagnoud.
Architecture and storytelling, what a beautiful duo. Camile call’s is “joyful architecture”, actually, that’s how they’ve named the project for the place they work at “Office for joyful architects”.
“Joyful architecture is an architecture for everyone (humans and non-humans). It’s made of strong patterns, bold colours,
#04 Artefact (UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 4th stop is at Artefact (London, UK) alongside Benedetta Rogers and Daniel Marmot.
Maybe a building can be an artefact, something like a cultural object. “Buildings are products of a time, of an age, of an economical situation, of a political situation…”. Benedetta and Daniel extend their understanding of cultural very broadly, they are "interested in a personal and social culture and al
#03 Flores & Prats Architects, Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 3rd stop is at Flores & Prats Architects atelier (Barcelona, Space) alongside Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats.
Take your time to listen to their thoughts. The “slow process” of “intense accumulation of time” is how you can get “new interests, new problems and new possibilities” out of a project.
Really, just take your time. Enjoy the process. Otherwise you are missing the best part. “What we lik
#02 Nicolas Dorval-Bory Architectes (FR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Our 2nd stop is at Nicolas Dorval-Bory Architectes atelier’s (Paris, France) alongside Nicolas Dorval-Bory himself.
Architecture is made out of very serious things. "Stone has a weight. Light has a colour temperature. Wind has a speed. But you have to be playful about them."
Nicolas confesses his passion for the physical constrains of the world. "Gravity is beautiful", he clai
#01 Esch Sintzel Architekten (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
“Arquitetura Entre Vistas” is about to take off. On this second season, the podcast is travelling “ABROAD”.
Our first stop is at Esch Sintzel Architekten atelier’s (Zurich, Switzerland) alongside the architect Philipp Esch.
Did you know housing is different from flats?
Next time you look at a floor plan, try to look at it with a forensic interest, think of it as an imprint of the everyday life. (
EP. 101 (masterclass Archi Summit 2023) Arquitetura 100 certezas Entre Vistas, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Nota: este episódio é uma reprodução da masterclass "Arquitetura 100 certezas Entre Vistas" que apresentei no Archi Summit 2023 na Casa da Arquitetura. A pedido de várias "famílias", que não puderam comparecer ao evento, partilho-a em formato video-podcast.

EP.100 Último Episódio - Ouvintes, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Dois anos depois, chegamos ao episódio 100.Penso que, há dois anos, nem sabia contar até ao número 100. ;)Se, até agora, cada episódio tinha um convidado, para o último episódio, abri o debate aos ouvintes propondo, numa open call, que eles próprios se fizessem convidados.Lancei a questão: “Sobre o que falamos quando, hoje, falamos de arquitetura?”. Pedi-vos que escolhessem uma palavra e explicas
EP.99 Manuel Aires Mateus, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Nesta última entrevista (penúltimo episódio), falamos com Manuel Aires Mateus.Revela-nos as várias formas que a mesma cidade pode ter aos olhos da mesma pessoa (“Começou por ser o lugar onde eu estava para, mais tarde, se transformar num lugar que uso como reflexão.”) Convicto, afirma que “Os projetos estão nos lugares (…) os projetos estão nas possibilidades de transformação dos lugares”.Notamos
EP.98 Frederico Valsassina, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Frederico Valsassina fala-nos de ideias sem escala. “O interessante da arquitetura é que os programas se alteram mas muitos dos princípios que nos nortearam num projeto de escala pequena ou um projeto de escala grande são os mesmos: o respeito intrínseco pelo programa e o saber habitar (...) Muda a escala mas não mudam os princípios da arquitetura."“Hoje, na arquitetura, é fundamentalmente
EP.97 mezzo atelier, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
1/2 Açores + 1/2 Itália (e um pouco mais de viagem pelo mundo) fazem o "mezzo atelier".Têm "um carinho especial pelo ontem." E olham para o futuro com um olhar promissor. “Não é uma arquitecta de olhar para o passado, é um modo de aprender com a síntese e sabedoria dos lugares e acrescentar aquilo que temos de melhor hoje em dia.”Falamos de conforto, de tecnologia, de materia
EP.96 parto atelier, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
"parto atelier" faz-se de encontros. Por isso, vamos ao encontro da Filipa e o Tiago para, celebrar a arquitetura. Acreditam na arquitetura enquanto "ponto de celebração."Percebemos que a obra começa quando a obra termina, “o momento em que a obra se concretiza não termina. Aí abre-se o espaço à vida no lugar, gostamos de manter essa relação com os lugares e com esse espaço de
EP.95 Cerejeira Fontes Architects, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
António e André Cerejeira Fontes, dois engenheiros que prosseguiram estudos em arquitetura. Agora, “estrutura e a arquitetura nascem em simultâneo”. “Não conseguimos desenhar um edifício sem pensar na sua estrutura. A estrutura como corpo da arquitetura.”Foi a engenharia que os trouxe para a arquitetura “Diferentes arquitetos têm naturalmente diferentes caminhos e os resultados são todos eles tamb
EP.94 ATELIERDACOSTA, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
ATELIERDACOSTA, um episódio com a casa cheia.Procuram uma arquitetura realista. “A história é esse pêndulo que vai variando entre questões mais realistas e menos realistas e cá estamos nós novamente.”Tentam desmontar a "posição demasiado central do arquiteto na arquitetura, enquanto figura autoral, enquanto figura de assinatura (...) Parece paradoxal, mas nós somos um elemento quase dispensáv
EP.93 studiolo, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
"Studiolo", uma palavra nova que aprendi com Rui Filipe Pinto. Talvez todos nós tenhamos o nosso studiolo.Arquitetura é um livro aberto, cada projeto deve ter uma história para contar. “As coisas são o que são, mas as coisas podem ser mais do que aquilo que são. Interessa-me a possiblidade.”.“O arquiteto enquanto criador de possibilidades, de cenários hipotéticos.”, sem a arrogância de
EP.92 Ivo Poças Martins, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Ivo Poças Martins arquiteto mas podemos encontrá-lo, também, no desenho, escrita, cenografia, investigação académica, design de objetos,... Serão estas práticas parte da arquitetura? Afinal somos ou não somos especialistas?“Para nós, enquanto arquitetos, é muito relevante desenhar e desenhar cada vez mais”. Mas afinal que formas pode um desenho ter? Faz-se sobre papel? Constrói-se? Fala-se? “Tu
EP.91 Colectivo Mel, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Com o Colectivo Mel questionamos se a cidade pertence ao individuo ou um coletivo...talvez a um coletivo de coletivos. “A cidade tem a capacidade de absorver tanto a expressão individual como a expressão dos coletivos” e cabe ao arquiteto criar espaço para a discussão política.Identificam-se enquanto "arquitetos obreiros". “Geralmente há alguém que desenha e há alguém que executa. Quando
EP.90 OODA, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
OODA, ambicionam a simultaneidade do "local" e do "global". Pelas suas palavras, trata-se de “Absorver toda uma experiência internacional para operar, de uma forma mais rica, localmente”.O que importamos? E o que exportamos? Seremos nós, Portugal, parte do “internacional” dos outros países que temos por “internacionais”?A curiosidade é uma característica muito importante para
EP.89 Marta Campos, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Atenta, oportuna, eficiente são palavras-chave que afinam o barómetro da arquitetura assinada por Marta Campos. “O arquiteto deve ser humilde mas oportuno na sua intervenção”.Explica-nos o seu particular interesse pela integração bioclimática, assim como o gosto pelo máximo aproveitamento dos resíduos da construção.Exploramos qual o potencial do BIM na arquitetura. “É uma metodologia que tem o pot
EP.88 Alexandre Burmester, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Alexandre Burmester dá-nos a conhecer uma perspetiva da arquitetura aplicada ao equipamento industrial (mas não só). "Gosto muito de fazer fábricas porque não têm o vaidosismo de outros projetos que se fazem”.Será todo o vaidosismo negativo? Será "vaidade" uma palavra do léxico da arquitetura? Numa outra perspetiva...pode a arquitetura nascer de preceitos como a: funcionalidade, rac
EP.87 Falcão de Campos, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Para João Pedro Falcão de Campos, ensinar arquitetura é quase uma necessidade de desabafo. Usa-o para transmitir o prazer pela arquitetura, numa vontade quase “desesperada” de que “gostem disto como eu gosto”.Na verdade, o seu gosto pela arquitetura foi, apenas, descoberto após a faculdade. “Gosto muito da adequação a uma circunstância. Gosto dessa abordagem muito portuguesa de, com poucos meios
EP.86 spaceworkers, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Spaceworkers, uma prática da arquitetura cuja forma segue a emoção, “as emoções com que estamos a trabalhar não são só as nossas mas também as dos nossos clientes.”“Não queremos que as pessoas fiquem indiferentes dentro dos espaços criados. Para isso não contratavam o arquiteto (...) quando se contrata o arquiteto é porque se quer ir um pouco além da mera resposta a uma função.”O programa e o inte
EP.85 PM-ARQ, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Luís Pereira Miguel fala-nos da experiência de ver a sua arquitetura, física, tornar-se digital...um produto dos media (Netflix).Será possível fazer arquitetura e landart em simultâneo? Talvez sim, quando se construi uma casa na areia.Foi enquanto arquiteto que descobriu os encantos da Comporta, terreno onde se semeiam muitos dos seus projetos de habitações unifamiliares, com vista mar e vista se
EP.84 RISCO, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Jorge Estriga e Carlos Cruz dão a voz ao atelier RISCO e, com eles, debate-se a aplicação das palavras "design" e "projeto".Acreditam veemente que "é obrigação do arquiteto conhecer profundamente o contexto onde está a intervir (...) os arquitetos trabalham com a realidade”. O seu traço tende a ter uma escala considerável, encontramo-lo não só em grandes equipamentos, ma
EP.83 New Terracotta, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
New Terracotta, uma fábrica portuguesa de azulejos artesanais. A azulejaria acontece em território nacional desde o século 15. "O tempo é o maior aliado do desenvolvimento. A necessidade e o tempo." Trata-se de retomar uma técnica ancestral sob uma estética atual. ("Os azulejos - e qualquer outro produto - desenvolvido pelo ser humano, não são estáveis, porque estamos sempre, neces
EP.82 Cândido Chuva Gomes, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Cândido Chuva Gomes gosta de trabalhar no seu cubinho branco, no Bairro Alto, perdido nos seus pensamentos, sós, fruto de diálogos múltiplos. Se tem deleite neste mundo interior, também de grande interioridade desenha os seus espaços. Interessa-lhe que o "dentro" rebente e o exterior seja afetado por este."Para mim o labirinto é fundamental". É curioso perceber que, aqui, não
EP.81 Belém Lima, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Lançamos a primeira pedra a constatar a progressiva e atual disseminação, da arquitetura, por todo o território.Após corroborarmos o modo como apresenta a sua arquitetura, em livro, afirma que a biografia de um arquiteto pode ser feita a partir das imagens por si recolhidas, "o projeto não cai de uma inspiração/de uma coisa ocasional (...) o projeto vem de muitos sítios , que não necessari
EP.80 Gonçalo Byrne, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Gonçalo Byrne argumenta a transdisciplinaridade da arquitetura. Também esta conversa se define por transdisciplinar.É com airosidade que afirma que "qualquer projeto é uma oportunidade de aprendizagem". Por isso, no meio desta abrangência, “Não é possível fazer escolhas…sem rejeitar”. Talvez a hora do nascer do sol ilumine as escolhas.Se dizemos, com poesia, que o lápis é parte da mão…p
EP.79 Egas José Vieira, Arquitetura Entre Vistas
Egas José Vieira encontrou, na arquitetura, a aplicação do seu gosto pelo funcionamento dos mecanismos e pensamento engenhoso.Relembramos os desenhos a vegetal, colocamo-los em contraponto com os desenhos digitais. O que pode o ecrã esconder? Consciencializa a necessidade de libertação de preconceitos. "Temos de nos libertar de alguns complexos que a sociedade cria". Afinal o que é boni
