“Architecture is almost like a virus; once we start thinking about architecture, it is very hard to let it go or get rid of it because it connects to all fields of society.”
Lukas Feireiss, the founder of an interdisciplinary creative practice called Studio Lukas Feireiss based in Berlin, focuses on the discussion and mediation of architecture, art and contemporary culture in the urban realm. We met him in Prague where he contributed to a workshop and discussion on the future of architectural publications, organized as part of the Shared Cities: Creative Momentum project.
Here he talks about the interconnectivity of architecture with other disciplines, collective approach, and overlaps with art, science, culture, visual communication etc. that create massive challenges as well as enormous opportunities for today’s cities.
