Stephen Williams

Architecture and cities are created through dialogue, exchange and a critical process translated into space, function and form. The process is not dependent on aesthetics but rather on the creation of meaningful places to which people can relate and belong. Inspirational architecture combined with social responsibility to create better places as a "win" for economies, cities and their populations – is this the key for overseeing the transformation of society? Stephen Williams says: Let's start with better concepts for how we want to live our lives… Rethink design as social design!
How do we do that? That's what we will be talking about today with Stephen Williams in our podcast.
 



Dieter Vander Velpen

Dieter Vander Velpen is a phenomenon. His architectural practice has only been in existence for 9 years and yet he has already realised some outstanding projects – not to mention his more than 116,000 followers on Instagram. What sets him and his office apart? The answer: So-called "couture architecture" – a thoughtful and detailed design based on the client's needs and personality. With the help of quality materials and exceptional craftsmen and an eye for the finest details. But it's about much more than design.
In today's podcast episode we take a look behind the scenes and talk about strategy and "couture architecture" with our guest Dieter Vander Velpen.
 



Koen Baeyens & Basile Graux

At the end of March, after a two-year break, the JUNG Architecture Talks were once held again in Hamburg in cooperation with the design magazine Häuser. The slogan for the event was "Make more of it!" – reflecting a topic that is more relevant than ever. Maintaining existing buildings, refurbishing them and adapting them to changing requirements in terms of living comfort, spatial organisation and energy efficiency not only makes economic and ecological sense, but also conserves resources and is more sustainable than building new buildings. Koen Baeyens and Basile Graux from Ghent in Belgium were also present as winners of the Häuser Award 2022. Time to pick up the conversation again and talk about the wonderful work of Graux & Baeyens Architecten.
 



Mary Noonan

The Australian hotel group Adina, which is expanding in Europe, has celebrated six hotel openings in the last two years. And all this between long lockdowns and a renewed longing to travel by its customers. Time to pause and reflect on the past few months. But also to look ahead to what "the Aussie way" has to offer for the future.
In today's podcast, we talk to Mary Noonan, Director Design and Projects, Adina Europe, about what makes a hotel more than just a place to spend the night.
