In this episode Andrew Clancy and Matt Phillips interview Prof Elly Mosayebi The practice she runs with her partners (Ron Edelaar and Christin Idebitzin) works from a deep understanding of the plan as a source of invention in the making of beautifully resolved housing. By a first principle interrogation of inhabitation and occupation they can arrive at plans which frequently eschew conventional geometries - to make characterful, resonant, architecture which is deeply human, gently inhabitable and yet steeped in a deep architectural knowledge. This is a rich, complex architecture - one which validates the discipline of architecture in its fullest sense - showing how a deep understanding of the history of architecture, and care in its making can make genuinely beautiful places for people to live. Elly is a professor in the ETH and there is a strong link between the teaching and research she conducts there with her students and the evolving nature of her practice. In this conversation we talk about this, and how she sees this developing in the future. --------- Credits: Registegr is the Research Centre in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London kingstonarchitecture.london Head of Department: Mary Johnson Producer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy Register: Christoph Lueder; Matt Wells; Matt Phillips Interviewer: Andrew Clancy and Matt Phillips Editor: Andrew Clancy Music: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture
