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.
