After the 11 internationally renowned Italian and Dutch architects interviewed for the first season of the project, Itinerant Office presents a new video series that includes a selection of 13 firms established in France, Spain, Portugal and Belgium.
The participants were interviewed with the aim of gathering personal insights about their careers, and to collect different opinions on the ever-changing profession of architecture.
The video interview series, conducted by Gianpiero Venturini, was designed with a double objective. First, to open a research path based on the analysis of these successful practices, with the aim of understanding their working methods, themes and approaches, in order to learn – through a comparative method – what it means to be an architect in the 21st century.
Moreover, the project was conceived to be a source of inspiration for the new generation of architects and architecture students, who are currently facing the job market, or who have recently started their careers.
