How is aesthetics integrated as a tool in processes surrounding architecture? And how do we understand the term itself? In this episode we are joined by Daniel Fišer, senior associate at Zaha Hadid Architects. We talk about the work processes at Zaha Hadid Architects, and how their work has evolved, and how aesthetics tools are integrated in their buildings. We talk about the combination of analogue and computational tools and how this is applied in projects.

Hvor eksisterer estetikken i de byråkratiske prosessene? Og i hvor stor grad tas avgjørelser om estetikk i tidligfasen av prosjekter?

Vi skal snakke om estetikk i tidligfase, hvor arkitekten kommer inn i bygnings prosjektene i offentlig sektor og hvordan de kan posisjonere seg.

Preservation is often strongly related to aesthetics, but what does the aesthetics represent? We talk to Jorge Otero-Pailos and Erik Langdalen about their work on the old American embassy in Oslo. The building was originally designed by Eero Saarinen, and is now being redeveloped. Erik and Jorge have been working on the facade of the building particularly. We talk about how you preserve, or restore, a facade that has deteriorated over time, what are the considerations you need to take and what problems do you face?

An extra take-out from our conversation with Jorge Otero-Pailos and Erik Langdalen! We continue the conversation in the direction of how political intent and necessity over time creates tension, and how these tensions can be interpreted and considered.

I denne episoden snakker vi med byantikvar Janne Wilberg og interiør arkitekt Kirsti Skulberg. Vi snakker om identitet i byområdene i Oslo. Selve byen og bevarings tanker, og det estetiske i dette. Samtalen beveger seg også innom bærekraft, og bestandighet i materialer. Hva må vi fokusere på i utviklingen av byen?
