77 Sauerbruch Hutton — Colour and the Future of Cities

“Colour is part of a set of tools used to create spaces that are sensuous, through the form of architecture, through its interaction with light, and through the different materials and their materiality. Not using colour is, in a way, a missed opportunity.” - Louisa Hutton In the 77th episode of the podcast No País dos Arquitectos (In the Country of Architects) , Sara Nunes speaks with Louisa Hutton, from the German studio Sauerbruch Hutton , about the use of colour in architecture and the future of cities. They discuss attention to the urban context, texture, pattern and scale, and projects such as the High Bay Warehouse, the M9 Museum in Venice and the GSW Building in Berlin, highlighting sensitivity to materials, sensory impact and sustainable solutions that balance design, community and the environment. We have created a special season of the podcast "No País dos Arquitectos" (In The Country of Architects), featuring international architects who, although they do not have built work in Portugal, represent globally respected practices whose work sets a high standard for the profession. Their projects offer valuable perspectives and critical insights that can help architecture reflect, evolve and improve. Only together can we build better cities.
