DISCORD – Architecture

Welcome to the third episode of “DISCORD”, a first-person critique talk-show where two architects with distinct takes on «how to do good Architecture» come together and criticise each others work in a constructive manner.

The introduction to this episode is brilliantly done by Tania Tovar Torres, whose research, critique and curatorial work has been a constant reference for me in the last years.

As you know, the participants in each episode are invited by the participants in the previous one. I could not be happier with the manner in which these lines of guests are evolving: for the third episode, Lanza invited Bangkok Tokyo Architecture and Parabase invited Kosmos Architektur.

The two basic rules for the discussion remain the same:

– Both participants should focus on the overall question of “what could good Architecture be?”

– Each participant 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.

The fourth episode, coming out in September, will feature Sam Chermayeff and Søren Pihlmann.

I hope you enjoy the discussion!
