REGISTER - CAROLINE VOET

—————— Before introducing this episode a quick mention of the free summer school for pre A- level students we run each summer with our partners. I talk a bit about this in the introduction - if you know anyone who might be interested there is more information here. http://kingstonarchitecture.london/architectural-drawing-summer-school-24-29-august-2019/ ———————- In this episode Andrew Clancy interviews Caroline Voet. Caroline joins us from Belgium where she works as an architect and an academic. She is rare, in that she excels in both practice and thinking about practice. The work of her practice, (Voet en de Brabandere, where she works in partnership with Leen de Brabandere) has a rigour in both formal and tectonic investigations - making buildings and interiors which are elegently conceived and beautifully resolved with their contexts. - http://www.voetendebrabandere.be As an academic Caroline is perhaps best known for her wonderful book (A House for the Mind) about the work of the architect Dom Hans Van der Lann, most particularly his seminal Rosenberg Abbey. This building is a continual touchstone for us here in Kingston, and Caroline’s research reveals its place in the thinking of its architect, and its abiding value as a building to draw lessons from today. - https://www.domusweb.it/en/architecture/2017/10/09/a-house-for-the-mind-explores-the-world-surrounding-the-philosophy-of-the-dutch-architect-monk-dom-hans-van-der-laan.html --------- Credits: Register is the Research Centre in the Department of Architecture & Landscape at the Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London kingstonarchitecture.london Head of Department: Mary Johnson Producer: Laura Evans / Andrew Clancy Register: Christoph Lueder; Matt Wells; Matt Philips Interviewer: Andrew Clancy Editor: Andrew Clancy Music: Poddington Bear - Rainbow Architecture
