10 Minutes. Architects and Designers in Conversation

Barbara Engel and Nikolas Rogge, eds. | Iodine Edition 2023 The book gathers 24 interviews by Stephanie Davidson with architects and designers from 15 countries, about their relationship with materials and how this informs architecture's and design's place in society.Questions of economy, ecology, cooperation, and pedagogy are at the heart of the conversations, revealing a variety of contemporary, exploratory, and constantly renewed ways of designing and making.These conversations get to the heart of the guests' practices, developing their relationship to experience and to making, as well as, more broadly, their relationship to society, to politics, to local, vernacular and ecological practices. And a relationship to collaboration and interdisciplinarity.In this collection of singular practices, architecture, design and art are never out of context. Attention to materials leads us to question our attention to their source (and resources), to the contexts in which projects are produced
