#53 SUMMACUMFEMMER (DE), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Today, we travel to Leipzig , Germany, to meet Anne Femmer and Florian Summa , founders of SUMMACUMFEMMER . Their work resists distance - between drawing and construction, theory and action, doubt and decision. “We like that there is a much deeper connection between planning and actually building it.” Architecture, for them, begins with questions. “The question is: how many questions can you take and tackle at one time?” They embrace uncertainty as a tool, not an obstacle. “Not knowing the correct answer is often more interesting… there are more and more doubts in our thinking.” Between the desk and the site, they move freely. “We have this freedom to choose whether we are on the desk or on site.” In that movement, they find clarity and, sometimes, surprise. “Is it still a model or is it already reality?” They make a disclaimer: “It’s important not to mistake it for a DIY attitude”, as they are interested in seeing the professional side of architecture getting into these questions. Actually, they mix life and work seamlessly: they have an office, they teach together, they are a couple, they have kids together. “I thought the architecture profession was a space of a its own”; they say, “I didn't realise it was connected to so many other things in the world.” Guests: Anne Femmer + Florian Summa (Leipzig, Germany)Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: arquiteturaentrevistas.com Spotify: Arquitetura Entre Vistas Instagram: @arquiteturaentrevistas
