Register - Kersten Geers (office Kgdvs)

In this conversation Andrew Clancy speaks with the Belgian architect Kersten Geers. Kersten was educated at the University of Ghent and in ETSA Madrid, before setting up his practice (Office KGDVS) with his friend David Van Severen in 2002. This practice has from the start had a very clear position, with each project presenting itself as a typological study in a way - refined to an essential reading. Building its innovations from a close reading of history particular attention is paid to plan and form to allow each project possess a singular character. This work is intertwined with teaching and research as an essential part of the practice - which includes making publications on numerous architects from the point of view of the practice - including James Stirling, Aldo and Hanna Van Eyck, and Giancarlo di Carlo. Kersten is full Professor at the Accademia di Architettura Mendrisio, and both he and David are visiting Professors at Harvard GSD. —— Credits: Register is the Research Group in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London Head of Department: Heba ElSharkawy Producer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy Interviewer: Andrew Clancy Editor: Andrew Clancy Music: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture
