In this episode of Materico Architecture Podcast our presenters Ludovica and Leonardo host Ricardo Bak Gordon.
They will discuss about how Ricardo interprets the architectural culture of the Portuguese school in his projects and the roots of his unique originality. During the conversation he explains what the task of architecture is and how it slowly evolves and changes over time, also by quoting the words of his teacher Paulo Mendes da Rocha. The episode touches as well the theory of Critical Regionalism by Kenneth Frampton and its value for todays architectural practice.
Some Bak Gordon famous architectures are mentioned. You can take a look at them in the following images. For further infos, you can visit his site at bakgordon.com.
To broaden the horizon in the contemporary portuguese architectural practice, we suggest as well to listen to our conversation with Fala Atelier.
