| #24 Denise Scott Brown (USA), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 03 Sep 2024 | 00:55:21 | |
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 together the super duo of architecture: Venturi & Scott Brown. “I would say we’ve have a big influence but Le Corbusier had an even bigger influence” Did you know there are 2 ways to think the city? Denise says the first is made by donkeys, the second is made by grids. After all, both are molded by "form, forces, and functions”. She even adds “in the end, the donkey is the functionalist.”. Actually, there is much more to function than to have the bathroom next to the bedroom. “It’s wonderful to make something beautiful. And you hope you can make it both.”. Oh Denise…what a mannerist <3. “Sometimes I want to be as beautiful as princess Margaret. You take this pretty princess, you take her a photo (…) and she is wearing diamonds…only when you get near her you get that the diamonds are celofane paper.” “Sometimes you have to break things.” Oh Denise…what a mannerist <3. I took notes of a little something: “Remember your memories as a baby, they are valuable to you in your architecture. Don’t forget those, take them with you.” I kept this advice in my pocket. I hope you do too. Learning from Denise.

| #23 Sergei Tchoban (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 23 Aug 2024 | 00:34:55 | |
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 proportions when we are drawing our own projects”. Unlike what we might think…it might be easier to draw historical buildings than contemporary ones. In the former, any mistaken line can be understood as a detail of the facade of that building. Meanwhile, in the later, in a contemporary building you either have the line right or wrong. We talk about cats in Le Corbusier’s “Swiss Pavilion”. We talk about toilets in Nicolas Ledoux’s “La Rotunde du Parc de Monceau”. We also talk about possible connections with Piranesi’s dystopias - but with a positive intake instead - and the very curious framings of Pietro di Gonzaga. “It is a mise-en-scène, architecture is an important part of mise-en-scène”.

| #14 GAFPA (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 23 May 2024 | 00:40:10 | |
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 structure, when you dismantle it, it is a very pragmatic structure, but at the same time it already includes both the identity and the generosity of the gesture.” Everyday is complex enough, so “it’s important not to invent complexity”. “You just do exactly what is needed and , somehow, nothing more then that.” but this is not the same as to say that “heritage” is the only possible path to follow. “We like to compare different things in series, because we like the evolutions, the steps, the mutations, the discussions of how from one idea you step to the next. Because when you understand this logic, you can apply it yourself. When it is an isolated reference the danger is that it becomes model.” Guest: Floris de Bruyn - GAFPA (Ghent, Belgic) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| EP.25 Os Espacialistas, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 15 May 2021 | 00:30:12 | |
Os Espacialistas! Mais do que uma representação, procuram estar presentes no espaço, no tempo e no movimento (que é o espaço no tempo). Apresentam-se como um corpo, mas um corpo capaz de se transformar em poesia. Um grupo verdadeiramente metatransmultipluridisciplinar. Convidados: Luis Baptista, Diogo Castro e Sérgio Estevão (Os Espacialistas) | |||
| EP.24 Branco del Rio, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 08 May 2021 | 00:23:26 | |
Branco del Rio montam-nos um discurso muito eloquente e capaz de ser infinitamente multiplicado. Numa só conversa fala-se de espaço e da sua apropriação; da ideia de microclima, energia e sustentabilidade, numa perspetiva muito particular e fundamentada; da cidade, identidade e de uma cidade do "pós-trabalho". Convidados: Paula del Rio e João Branco (Branco del Rio) | |||
| EP.23 Extrastudio, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 01 May 2021 | 00:38:11 | |
Extrastudio faz-se de várias mãos, ideias e convicções. Têm já muitas certeza, às quais se agarram, mas multiplicam-se, também, as dúvidas. Falamos de escala, densidade, matéria, atmosfera e tempo. Arquitetura é uma atividade social, faz-se de pessoas, do anónimo, do banal. | |||
| EP.22 Ivo Tavares, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 24 Apr 2021 | 00:27:29 | |
Fotografia de arquitetura, pelo olhar de Ivo Tavares. A multiplicação da arquitetura que se congela num momento. A fotografia torna a arquitetura acessível a todos. Trata-se de procurar a luz certa, a sombra enigmática, um reflexo, um pormenor. É um diálogo entre quem segura a câmara e a obra, um diálogo que, após a seleção, pertence ao olhar de todos, formado, ou não em arquitetura. | |||
| EP.21 Coletivo Oitoo, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 17 Apr 2021 | 00:31:48 | |
Durante esta conversa também nós somos Coletivo Oitoo. Observatório e Escritório. | |||
| EP.20 João Paulo Loureiro, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 10 Apr 2021 | 00:34:05 | |
João Paulo Loureiro, conta que a sua vida foi contaminada pela arquitetura. Nas suas palavras percebemos a grande sensibilidade de quem entende a grande e bela responsabilidade de criar espaços para alguém. Espaços que nunca são "interior" ou "exterior", nunca são "público" ou "privado", tudo se funde, e isso é maravilhoso. | |||
| EP.19 AR2a, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 03 Apr 2021 | 00:21:57 | |
Adriano Reis e toda a equipa AR2a são um "todo" composto por "partes". Formam uma entidade una, pela diversidade de individualidades que nela existe. Confessam uma saudável obsessão pelo desenho em planta. Procuram perceber, exatamente, onde se devem posicionar entre o cliente e o edifício, porque cabe ao arquiteto dar a conhecer a importância da sua profissão nas cidades e na sociedade. | |||
| EP.18 Silva Cravo, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 27 Mar 2021 | 00:17:20 | |
João Silva Cravo deixa-nos entrar na sua nuvem de pensamentos, somos levados num discurso reflexivo, poético e ponderado. Discutimos a frase que faz o conceito e, mais tarde, a arquitetura. Falamos de método e o processo. Falamos de ideias e de ideias construídas. Falamos do projeto e das sensações projetadas. | |||
| EP.17 Carlos Castanheira, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 20 Mar 2021 | 00:28:46 | |
Com Carlos Castanheira falamos de arquitetura. E quando falamos de arquitetura falamos da vontade do cliente e do conhecimento do arquiteto. Falamos da ideia, do tempo, do espaço. Falamos da estrutura e do revestimento e da estrutura que é já revestimento. Falamos de matéria, material e madeira. | |||
| EP.16 rar.studio, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 13 Mar 2021 | 00:20:18 | |
Rita Aguiar Rodrigues mostra-nos que arquitetura é tão teórica quanto prática. É tão cidade quanto encaixe de madeira. Arquitetura é tanta coisa que nos cabe, a nós, desdobra-la e, na confusão, encontrar a sua simplicidade e clareza. | |||
| #13 Experimental (PT), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 13 May 2024 | 00:48:26 | |
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. What we might expect from them is exactly what they expect from materials: António and Elói are amused by materials that have unlimited possibilities - “materials that are always ready”, as they call it - as so, unlimited possibilities is what they explore. After all, “Architecture is like this...It is about being always ready”. “We don’t know what is going to happen in the the afternoon or the next day or in the construction site. So, being always ready is kind of the only possibility.” Let’s picture, in our minds, the beginning of a project: the client has a plot and a program and maybe some ideias; the architects also have some ideias in their mind. One thing is for sure: none of these is what the project is going to be. “We have no idea of what we are going to do, but we are sure that we are going to find a lot of things.” “Architecture is like chocolate for people that like chocolate, you could eat it forever.” Guest: Elói Gonçalves + António Mesquita (Porto, Portugal + Zurich, Switzerland) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| EP.15 SubvertStudio, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 06 Mar 2021 | 00:30:22 | |
SubvertStudio, um estúdio multidisciplinar, que pretende combater a aceleração do mundo, parar e questionar as ideias preconcebidas. Eternos apaixonados pela arquitetura e pelo projeto, indignam-se perante a sua subvalorização e acreditam que o futuro se encontra nesta mudança de paradigma. | |||
| EP.14 Paulo Moreira, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 27 Feb 2021 | 00:33:01 | |
Paulo Moreira, um viajado, que mesmo de pés assentes na Rua dos Clérigos, não deixa de expandir os limites da sua arquitetura. Arquitetura num sentido plural, que vai desde o gosto pela tradição construtiva, à pesquisa, experiência e partilha. Tudo isto é plenamente arquitetura. | |||
| EP.13 Ana Aragão, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 20 Feb 2021 | 00:35:13 | |
Ana Aragão, desenhadora de profissão. Deixou-te levar pelo encanto da linha e das cidades de papel. Basta uma caneta Bic para nos mostrar os vários mundos que, também existem, mas nem toda a gente vê. Não cria...vai desenhando de outros modos, debruçada sobre a folha de papel estendida. | |||
| EP.12 Nuno Nascimento, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 13 Feb 2021 | 00:27:14 | |
Nuno Nascimento abre-nos as portas ao seu modo de ver arquitetura. Com o seu discurso genuíno fala-nos das principais inquietações e desafios de iniciar um atelier a solo. Fala-nos das circunstâncias, da vida e da arquitetura. | |||
| EP.11 Building Pictures, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 06 Feb 2021 | 00:32:38 | |
Sara Nunes, construtora de imagens. Usa o vídeo para comunicar melhor, para conhecer mais e, por isso, conhecer melhor. Os planos multiplicam-se em com eles, a arquitetura. | |||
| EP.10 André Tavares, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 30 Jan 2021 | 00:26:20 | |
Deixamo-nos levar no eloquente discurso de André Eduardo Tavares. Pensamos sobre o método de projeto e a necessidade de "meter a mão na massa". Arquitetura é tudo isto. Não é uma coisa "ou" outra, é uma coisa "e" outra. Falamos a linguagem arquitetónica...anda falar connosco! | |||
| EP.9 Nuno M Sousa, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 23 Jan 2021 | 00:24:50 | |
Hoje, com Nuno M Sousa, aprendemos a desenhar ideias. Aprendemos que arquitetura são muitas coisas...na verdade, talvez, arquitetura devesse ser um pouco menos arquitetura. Convidado: Nuno Melo Sousa | |||
| EP.8 Bak Gordon Arquitetos, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 16 Jan 2021 | 00:31:10 | |
Ricardo Bak Gordon, encontra poesia no vazio, porque são os vazios que fazem os cheios... Procura a cidade que não tem avesso, que não tem frente nem traseiras. Para além de viajante, será, para sempre um "procurante". | |||
| EP.7 CVDB, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 09 Jan 2021 | 00:43:23 | |
O modo cheio de vida com que Cristina e Diogo falam sobre arquitetura deixa-nos levar no encanto deste mundo. Sabias que a arquitetura tem DNA? Sabias que tem memória? Sabias que a luz não é toda igual? | |||
| EP.6 LociStudio, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 02 Jan 2021 | 00:26:04 | |
Para estrear o Novo Ano, junta-se a mim Amália Miranda, LociStudio. Arquitetura também se faz de exterior, de árvores, de vento de chuva, de passeios, de espaços de estar. Falamos de jardins, de espaços verdes, de espaços livres (públicos e privados). Naturalmente... | |||
| #12 Takefumi Aida (JP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 03 May 2024 | 00:15:19 | |
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 thinking about what architecture is”. Maybe…this “thinking about what architecture is” is architecture itself. It’s polemic…but the probability that "architecture is not 100% expressed in the realised architecture” is a strong possibility. Fortunately, its guaranteed we find Takefumi Aida’s full intent out of his models and drawings. “The importance of architecture is in the thinking. The building is one kind of result.” He has approached architecture with a 3D kind of though, playing with Toy Blocks. He has approached architecture with a 2D kind of though, playing with cards and parallel walls. Currently, “I want to design architecture by a one dimensional thinking way. (…) I have started to think about that but I haven’t yet developed a design method for it.” I bring more bad news: “There is not a single project that I am satisfied with.” I also bring more good news: “I still have the same motivation I had when I was a young child. That is why I don’t stop.” Beautiful.

| EP.5 Aurora Arquitectos, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 26 Dec 2020 | 00:34:41 | |
Aurora Arquitetos faz-se a várias vozes. É na voz de Sérgio Antunes que se conversa sobre o encanto pelo comum e banal, que em nada impede encontrar respostas especiais. Em arquitetura há perguntas e há respostas, muitas perguntas e muitas respostas. Cabe ao arquiteto fazê-las viver ou "matar mundos". Falamos sobre matéria, sendo o ritual e o corpo a matéria mais importante. | |||
| EP.4 NOARQ, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 19 Dec 2020 | 00:22:43 | |
À conversa com José Carlos Nunes de Oliveira, NOARQ. Sabias que as mãos pensam? Falamos de arquitetura, tentamos classifica-la, exploramos as suas relações, as suas razões, as suas condições e as suas condicionantes. Falamos de matéria e de desmaterialização. Falamos do real. | |||

| #11 Lütjens Padmanabhan (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:57:06 | |
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 model is always right”. So, if anything deviates, the question must be “why is our drawing not as good as the model?”. These models are tools NOT to overthink, we’ve come to realise. Probably, their platonic love for thinness arose “out of laziness” (their words) from their first model in which "the skin of the building became thinner and thinner and that became into a theme that has stayed with us ever since”. To add up, insolation (and so on) doesn’t allow us to build in a monolithic way anymore “that is the new culture we need to embrace”. Thinness is a language. “We think that if you use language, you should be serious about what you are saying. But it occurred to us that when you say serious things, you may as well say them with a light tone in your voice.” “Architecture is self-conscious about it’s own fragility”. Name a more beautiful thing. “If you are a painter or a musician and you fail, there is not much left. It is really risky. But we still have toilets and a dishwasher that works, and you can cook and sleep and it doesn’t rain in. So, we have a safety net. We can reach net level or we can go beyond it”. Or go beyond it, I repeat. "You don’t pay us for the architecture, the architecture you get for free.” Guest: Oliver Lütjens + Thomas Pahmanbhan - Lütjens Padmanabhan (Zurich, Switzerland) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #10 Studio Muoto (FR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 13 Apr 2024 | 00:36:38 | |
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 outcome. So, a bathroom is not a bathroom, “you have a million ways of doing a bathroom”. And “a stair is not just a device to go from one floor to another, I hope.” Structures last longer than it’s functional propose. So, structures must be rather “open for occupation”. “You can go to an empty stadium or go to a stadium during a football match and it is a really different space. And then you can play an opera and it will be different again. And the public will be different.” So yes, let’s use the word “occupation” instead of “function”. “There is usually a moment where he project becomes so clear, so perfect, that it doesn’t call for anything else but itself. We want to keep them in a state where it’s slightly before the perfect symbol, before architecture closes on itself. (…) We are on an attitude trying to scape architecture, most of the time.” Guest: Gilles Delalex - Studio Muoto (Paris, France) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #09 Max Otto Zitzelsberger (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:41:24 | |
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 have in your head are potential spaces and potencial architecture.” But what is architecture? “No one knows. For you it’s something different than it is for me. And if you ask me next week, perhaps I’ll have a totally different answer. Perhaps this is what makes it really interesting. No-one can say what it is.” But we keep on doing it anyway. We get to talk about copying and about references and about thinking…we talk a lot about thinking. Have you ever been flashed by a project you saw on Instagram? These inputs are amazing but can be very tricky. “Perhaps, one reason why I don’t build so much is because one moment I am really sure about something and the next moment I am not.” What if this is all a coincidence in which “the right idea, at the right moment, comes to the right person and then there is a person near by which understands…” Guest: Max Otto Zitzelsberger (Munich, Germany) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #08 Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter (DK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 23 Mar 2024 | 00:32:20 | |
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”. “We enjoy building spaces that are far more than just solving load bearing forces that we can get from the engineer.” Johansen Skovsted don’t need much to get loose for hours under this architecture game: “a wall, a column, a beam… for us, it is a good starting point”. But how to start from there? They have a strategy, at first, they ask “how would they do it if we would not be here? how are they already doing it?”. After this analyses they take action and try to influence it. “We know that if we tried to come up with something completely different, then it would never happen.” Did you know that some structural elements…are not really as structural as they seem to be? “It is very interesting to have something optimised and to have something extravagant, as a contrast, in the same project.” Guest: Sebastian Skovsted - Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter (DK) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #07 Buchner Bründler Architekten (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:40:31 | |
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 topics. To think about space and the quality of space is our main source of thinking and doing. It is the secret value of architecture.” But suddenly “the idea of architecture is not as simple as it was.” “How does the architect deals with the overall questions, with the new questions, with future questions?”, one might wonder. “We could try to continue but we are convinced, already, that this cannot continue. We have to be inventive and we have to bring new ideas into form.” “We have so many conversations with clients and constructers because they are afraid that the surface might not be perfect.” And this is a topic worth talking about.

| #06 Jo Taillieu Architecten (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 03 Mar 2024 | 00:41:49 | |
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 and I am not sure he would sew up the skin again. Throughout our conversation we realised it is all about precision. Precision I the key word. “Sometimes you have to be precise in the definition to accept the openness of the outcome. But if you are precise in giving the tools to make it, it can lead to a very precise outcome.” But how to do it, we ask? Jo says: “skipping conventions is extremely important to be precise”. “To see what is there is one of the most important steps on the design process” but the question in architecture is not to solve problems but to create opportunities. Or is it? One thing is for sure, “architecture is a process and finding the interest in that you are doing is the only interesting outcome.” Guest: Jo Taillieu (Ghent , BE) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #05 Coci Studio (CH+UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 23 Feb 2024 | 00:31:23 | |
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, generous roofs, welcoming spaces…all those elements put together. At the end, everybody is free to feel this space as joyful or not but this is our way to see joyful architecture”. It’s about giving an opportunity to every element, to make them prouder, more independent, to give them more importance. ”Even if they are there just for their function.” On one hand, “we are in an era where we cannot have any surplus anymore in architecture”. On the other hand…architecture is about that surplus as she confesses: “we work with references like an accumulation of lot of images, maybe too many. (…) Yes it’s a combination between drawings, models, story telling, sometimes, built projects. All together they do architecture, to our eyes.” "How can we combine the economy of means and ornament at the same time?” That is very much what we talk about in this episode. Gladly, a very superficial conversation.

| #22 Harquitectes (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 13 Aug 2024 | 00:49:35 | |
#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 is a new hypothesis on constructed conditions combined with natural phenomenon. “When all of these come together, it is more then just a basic survival experience, it is something closer to the extraordinary.” In the beginning of the office, maybe, their approach to the vernacular was one of aesthetics. But they’ve gradually started to discover the hidden reasons behind the vernacular look. “We don’t produce nothing new…maybe a new experiences, maybe a new typology but…” But isn’t this producing something new?…I wonder. “When you don’t plaster the brick, you get the memory of someone placing one brick over the other. That is why our buildings never have the feeling of something new, you have, at least, the time of the construction.” Maybe vernacular is not a thing of the past, maybe we are the vernacular of tomorrow. “I hope that we are producing some new vernacular.” Guest: Josep Ricart Ulldemolins - Harquitectes (Sabadell, Spain) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Sponsor: Duo-Thermo Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #04 Artefact (UK), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:30:46 | |
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 also in the material culture”. Unlike what we might think, “the speed of architecture is actually quite slow. Even during the lifespan of a project one can think “oh I would have done it differently today.” Or maybe…we think too fast. We algo talk about constrains. And how constrains might actually end up to be desired after they have been transgressed. Nothing new about it, right? But what if we consider the novelty is actually hiding behind “the stuff that have been around for a long time”? “That’s really the best when your clients say “oh I never though about that”. It sounds really good.” Guest: Benedetta Rogers + Daniel Marmot - Artefact ((London, UK) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #03 Flores & Prats Architects, Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 03 Feb 2024 | 00:41:21 | |
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 like the most about the project is the doing of the thing, the process, the in-between.”
Eva and Ricardo are very keen on deciding without making decisions. They, somehow work with open possibilities instead of close-ended solutions. That is probably why their projects are forever ruins. “This open condition of the ruin allows everyone to feel at home in a way.”
Let’s thing of it as a second hand coat, you buy it, “then you put your hand in the pocket and you find something forgotten there, and it is a beautiful surprise.” And they find these treasure in their projects as well! “We value all layers with equal importance. Just like in a person, it’s the accumulation of experiences that makes the building so rich.”
“That’s why we keep a small office, because we want to keep drawing ourselves.”

| #02 Nicolas Dorval-Bory Architectes (FR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 23 Jan 2024 | 00:40:06 | |
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 claims, "all the laws of physics have a meaning for me because they are ideas in themselves. They have a certain way of organising matter”. Yes, architecture is very complex. "It has to contain some form of contradiction. It cannot be only one simple thing in the end. I try to explore what this contraction can be: where to expand money/where to save money, where to have a big space, where it's ok to have a small space, etc.” Let's put it like this: reality is not made of possible things and impossible things. "When there is no money, there is no money, when something is too heavy, it is too heavy. You just have to deal with it. It's quite simple." After all, if you accept the complexity...it's simple. “Just because things are real, they are beautiful in themselves” Guest: Nicolas Dorval-Bory (Paris, France) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| #01 Esch Sintzel Architekten (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 13 Jan 2024 | 00:44:11 | |
“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. (Why have I never thought of this before?)
Now think of the Palladio's villas. There you have completely pure plans that are not spoiled by toilets, by kitchens... it's just an arrangement of rooms. (Where would you place a toilet in a Palladio's villa?).
“Floorpans have to be more open, less determined. Spatially, very much determined, but functionally not much determined.”
“Beauty is the most sustainable quality of architecture” but sometimes we have to talk about it using other terms. “We constantly find ourselves promoting architectural qualities without talking about them but instead talking about facility management and architecture as an hidden agenda”. And that's ok.
Maybe we should pay more attention to the background.
Maybe we should lower our standards.

| EP. 101 (masterclass Archi Summit 2023) Arquitetura 100 certezas Entre Vistas, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 29 Jul 2023 | 00:41:38 | |
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.
Espero que gostem. Deixem o vosso comentário.
"Arquitetura 100 certezas Entre Vistas"
100 entrevistas, 46 horas de gravação e 199 convidados depois…a única certeza é a de que, em arquitetura, não há certezas. E não há problema nenhum!
A masterclass “Arquitetura 100 certezas Entre Vistas” convida todos - desde os mais cépticos aos mais convictos - a sobrevoar o Podcast e a saírem de lá completamente despenteados…com certeza.
Promete-se muita discórdia e contradição. Um campo de batalha sem vencedores nem vencidos.
Autor: Ana Catarina Silva
Masterclass: Arquitetura 100 certezas Entre Vistas
Evento: Archi Summit 2023
Local: Casa da Arquitetura

| EP.99 Manuel Aires Mateus, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 08 Oct 2022 | 00:37:37 | |
Nesta última entrevista (penúltimo episódio), falamos com Manuel Aires Mateus. Isto porque ocupa uma posição na vida em que “Não me interessa nada trabalhar com aquilo que sei, só me interessa trabalhar com aquilo que descubro.” | |||
| EP.98 Frederico Valsassina, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 01 Oct 2022 | 00:20:28 | |
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." | |||
| EP.97 mezzo atelier, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 24 Sep 2022 | 00:21:06 | |
1/2 Açores + 1/2 Itália (e um pouco mais de viagem pelo mundo) fazem o "mezzo atelier". | |||
| EP.96 parto atelier, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 17 Sep 2022 | 00:30:34 | |
"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." A "referência" é como um museu imaginário. "A ideia não está tanto na referência em si, mas na ponte entre elas. De repente, a memória torna estas referências mais difusas e o que interessa são os elos que se vão criando, a história que queres contar e de que maneira esta se intromete no projeto.” Acreditam que “O arquiteto tem um papel fundamental na reflexão sobre "o que é que a cidade pode ser", "sobre o que queremos que ela seja" e "sobre o que é que o espaço público pode potenciar na relação entre pessoas.” Encontram potência nos vazios urbanos. “São pretextos para a criação. São pretextos para uma ocupação.”. Projetos como "Up-farming" (horticulturas verticais, locais, sustentáveis, low-tec, inclusivas,...) são algumas dessas criações.

| #21 TEN (CH+SRB), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD | 03 Aug 2024 | 00:38:50 | |
#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 label? What about a football team? Is doing "what interests us” a realistic thing to do? In other words…how can we develop a project to resist for 500-years when no such client or brief will ever request us such a timeframe? “No-one is thinking about having building which is so resilient, and so much wanted, that it can last 500 years: it’s way over the generations’ lifespans, over the organisations’ timelines.” “We should be the ones that are on the edge, projecting a vision and thinking more than just a service. This is where architecture can thrive.” We talk about structure, but not necessarily about that kind of structure buildings have. We talk about an idea for a tower, images of a tower…but was this tower ever constructed? “We are happy to contribute to the discourse in our profession. We don’t have to take it as a kind of “did we build it first? or last? Actually, we want to be taken over by others more often.” “By making it public someone can pick it up and do it again and again and again.” Guest: Nemanja Zimonjić, Scott Lloyd, Lukas Burkhart , Fabian Launer, Cyrill Wechsler, Tijana Mačkić , TEN (Zurich, CH + Belgrade, SRB) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Instagram @arquiteturaentrevistas Follow for more thoughts on architecture. | |||
| EP.95 Cerejeira Fontes Architects, Arquitetura Entre Vistas | 10 Sep 2022 | 00:28:13 | |
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 também interessantes”, conscientes do seu percurso, aceitam-no e usam-no como a um fator diferenciador da sua prática. O arquiteto é um artista completo, não só " somos escultores de espaços", como também “somos coreógrafos da vida humana em espaços", também sabemos um bocadinho de música "A música é linear, mas a arquitetura é multilinear. Podemos ouvir montes de sequências espaciais que não é apenas uma linha como na música”. “A escala, a dimensão, a proporção…posso vê-los como elementos físicos mas também como elementos de perceção. Há aspetos que não sabemos explicar mas sentimos.” “Eu diria que uma das qualidades mais importantes dos arquitetos são os olhos. (…) A primeira etapa da observação é preparar os olhos para ver.” Convidado: Cerejeira Fontes Architects Moderação: Ana Catarina Silva, Estudante de Arquitetura | |||
