Nora Good, Barbara Zettel and Nils Freiwald were on press trips. They report on projects, exhibitions and architectural works they experienced in Basel, Amsterdam and Oslo.
Basel
In Basel, Nils Freiwald was on his very first press trip, and the focus is on Peter Zumthor. Peter Zumthor has expanded the Fondation Beyeler’s new complex with three new buildings. The Wyss Museum is the exhibition building.
From one exhibition in Basel to the next: the Vitra Design Museum is currently telling the life story of the architect Geoffrey Bawa. The exhibition ‘Architecture for the Senses’ offers an insight into Bawa as a person and his architectural development.
Amsterdam
Nora Good was in Amsterdam. She brings back a project by Studio Nauta, thereby building a bridge to our last episode, ‘Reuse in Architecture’. Nora Good and Jan Nauta discuss the process of reuse architecture, moments when materials become unusable due to modern requirements, and the insights gained from this.
Oslo
Barbara Zettel was in Oslo. She reports on the architecture triennial entitled ‘What if nature comes first’, an exhibition of new materials that aim to bridge the gap between the local and the global. The materials are locally sourced, but the concept can be applied anywhere in the world.
A new episode that combines two aspects: informative reporting and a look behind the scenes.
