A little backstory: I’ve never met Bjarke before, but he played a big role in me becoming an architect. Or me believing I could be one.
Back in school, architecture felt so serious. Then came Plot, with this playful, startup-like energy. Bjarke and Julien made it feel like architecture could be fun, imaginative, even rebellious. That shifted something in me.
Fast forward to a month ago: I get a call asking if he could come to the mountains and interview me. Yeah, yeah, sure… nice prank!
But nope,it was real. He wanted my thoughts for the “Studio Visit” of Domus. Every month one architect is chosen to talk about a specific material. Before us was Ishigami for metal, Sanaa for glass…. And us for wood.
I told him, “There should be at least a casting or some kind of primary to qualify!”
But we did it. And here it is. Feeling pretty proud!
Thanks Bjarke, BIG, and Domus!
