#35 FELT (BE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
Today we travel to Ghent (Belgium) to meet with Jasper Stevens and Karel Verstraenten whom, together have founded FELT architecture & design, back in 2014. FELT favors the 'in between', creating objects and projects that oscillate between between architecture and design, scale and scaleless, between function the fiction. They “see scenography as an architectural commission”, what about vice-versa? Sometimes they re-scale buildings to stool-size, other times, they skate stools to building-size. “This exercise of re-scale is something we do with almost everything we make.” They believe in the importance of not ending up “with a grey, basic architecture”. Are you a believer as well? “We are liars. We like to lie. We lie to tell a different story”. As it should. Sometimes it is about adding sprinkles on top of frozen yogurt. (Yes, you need to listen to the episode to understand this reference.) “There is a reference for those who wan to see it."Guest: Jasper Stevens + Karel Verstraeten (Ghent, BE)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal)Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.comInstagram@arquiteturaentrevistasFollow for more thoughts on architecture.
