Juan Herreros in conversation with Amale Andraos

In this second episode of GSAPP Conversations, Dean Amale Andraos speaks with Spanish architect and GSAPP Professor Juan Herreros about the relationship between teaching and practicing architecture, and how Herreros has carefully designed a particular way of working globally. Herreros, who co-founded Abalos&Herreros in 1984 and currently leads estudioHerreros, gives insight into how working sensitively in foreign settings also helps to develop a robust local practice, and how he is bringing new models of emerging practices to his students in GSAPP’s Advanced Architecture Studios. "...the students want to know how to establish a practice. And I think we have to stop that question and say, no—the question is not how to establish. The question is why establish, for what, and what is the design of the practice you want to start?" - Juan Herreros
