JUNG Talk

JUNG im Gespräch mit Sabine De Schutter Designing light means defining perception through a combination of light properties. At the same time, light has many concepts, many characteristics and many "shades" that need to be taken into account. This makes it complicated and simple at the same time, at least for Sabine De Schutter and her team, whose focus is on creating meaningful spaces that have a positive impact on people's lives. In their work, they combine functionality with beauty, creating an atmosphere that shapes the perception of a space - technically adept, minimalist and in harmony with the architectural style. On the one hand, they take a holistic approach, designing the perception of a space and its mood before selecting the appropriate luminaires. Or the other way round, where existing components wait for a new purpose in the sense of circular construction. #creativityisourcurrency is the studio's motto. In our podcast we ask Sabine De Schutter how she implements this claim in her projects.

JUNG im Gespräch mit Florian Bengert, Lukas Bessai & Marcel Schaaf #architecture #architecturedrawing #architecturelovers #arqsketch #building #contemporaryarchitecture #conversion #exhibitiondesign #illustration #minimal #reuse #simplicity #structure #umbaukultur #youngarchitects #curiousaboutxyz. Eine neue Generation von Architekturbüros steht in den Startlöchern, um die Welt zu verändern. Einer dieser neuen Akteure ist CURIOUS ABOUT, das 2020 von Florian Bengert, Lukas Bessai und Marcel Schaaf in Karlsruhe gegründet wurde. Sie erweitern das klassische Feld des Bauens von Objekten und Räumen um eine weitere Dimension:„Powerful thoughts“. Was sie darunter verstehen und wie sie dies in ihre Arbeit einfließen lassen, macht uns neugierig. Deshalb sprechen wir in der heutigen Podcast-Episode mit CURIOUS ABOUT über ihre Strategien, Experimente und die Herangehensweise einer neuen Generation von Architekturschaffenden.

JUNG im Gespräch mit Xu Tiantian For many years, people have been moving from the countryside to the big cities. The towns and villages they leave behind then not only become structurally weak but above all desolate. This worldwide phenomenon can also be observed in China. In the villages of the southeastern Chinese county of Songyang, architect Xu Tiantian and her office DnA_Design and Architecture have together with the provincial government found answers to this structural change. Her strategy, which she calls "architectural acupuncture", is not new, and involves strengthening the identity of the villages with mostly new cultural buildings and conversions and at the same time promoting local crafts. The strategy, however, has resulted in something that they didn't expect: People are starting to come back from the cities. Initially, this was because of the pandemic, but now they are also starting businesses and relocating the centre of their lives back to the countryside. Is this the end of the task or do we now need new strategies to turn small interventions into a big transformation? That's what we talk about today with Xu Tiantian, founding principal of DnA _Design and Architecture in our podcast.

JUNG im Gespräch mit Marvin Bratke & Paul Clemens Bart "We are inventors at heart, working with visionaries to design the spaces of tomorrow." Founded in 2023 with offices in Berlin and New York, Beta Realities stands for innovative, circular and transformative architecture and design. Using an interdisciplinary approach, its architects plan new and adaptive spatial concepts that link architecture, interior design, product design and research. As a well-rehearsed international team, Beta Realities combines technology, ecology and architecture to find solutions to the greatest challenges facing our society and time. In its architecture, it aims to unleash the full potential of man and nature. How does it do this? By challenging conventions, questioning norms and moving beyond the traditional boundaries of disciplines. More questions? We definitely have a few. That's why we are talking in our podcast today to Marvin Bratke and Paul Clemens Bart from Beta Realities in Berlin and New York.

JUNG im Gespräch mit Chris Middleton The best innovations are created together. That's why, for over twenty years, Kinzo has been creating special places where people come together and to which they like to return. Places that are as individual and versatile as the users themselves. Their vision: Creating places that everyone wants to go to. Spaces that attract and inspire people again and again. Sustainable, functional and unique. To do this, Kinzo looks at the city, the culture, the architecture – and, of course, the users active within all three. After all, their perspective is the most important planning tool. This results in changeable spaces and new usage mixes, artificial and non-commercial constellations and spaces that can breathe. Why it sometimes doesn't take much design to do this is what we talk about today with Chris Middleton from Kinzo in our podcast.
