S1E5 - Fala Atelier

Fala is a young architectural practice based in Porto, founded in 2013 and led by Filipe Magalhaes, Ana Luisa Soares, Ahmed Belkhodja and Lera Samovich. Fala has lectured worldwide and taught at the faculties of architecture in Toronto, Milano, Venice, Munich and London, among others.
In this episode of materico, Ludovica and Leonardo spend some time with Filipe Magalhaes. He introduces himself and his firm Fala Atelier through the themes addressed in the interview.

The professional path taken by Fala atelier has gone from innocent architecture to the awareness of what they want. But always keeping the “carrot” in front of them: the dream that has guided them from the beginning. Questioning the language and expressions of architecture, we delve together into the topic of heritage in terms of the value of the building and what should be preserved.

Portuguese school is often mentioned during this conversation, which brings our mind back to a previous interview with Ricardo Bak Gordon in which the topic has been expanded as well.
