DISCORD – Architecture

In other words, openly and frankly discussing each others work leads to better projects and to a healthier architectural culture.

There are two basic rules:

•⁠  ⁠both should try to answer the overall question of “what could good Architecture be?”
•⁠  ⁠In order to structure the discussion each has to send the other 3 elements prior to the discussion: (1) a built project, and (2) unbuilt project (both in photos, images, drawings, and text), and (3) a text of their own authorship.

After their discussion, each participant picks someone to take part in the next episode

The inaugural episode is guest-hosted by Federica Zambeletti, from Koozarch, featuring Filipe Magalhães, from fala, and Francisco Moura Veiga, from A Forschung, Cartha Magazine, and VOLUPTAS ETHZ.

Unbuilt Project – Controlled Costs Housing in Almada
Text – A Song of Ice and Fire, in OASE 114

Francisco’s 3 elements are:
