Todd Saunders (1969) is one of the most important contemporary Canadian architects working internationally. His architecture, simple yet powerful, incorporates elements of his country’s architectural identity – including the use of wood and carefully picked Modernist influences – bringing it at the same time into the 21st century with excellent execution, carefully chosen materials and a hands-on approach.

Saunders, who has lived and worked in Bergen, Norway for the past 25 years, has successfully executed work in both Canada, Norway, USA, Sweden, and Finland, creating architecture with a strong sense of northern identity, an individual approach that is informed by the strength of natural landscape.

Saunders studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax and McGill University in Montreal.  In 2016 Saunders was given an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.  He continues to combine teaching with practice.  He has lectured in over 20 countries.  He has been a visiting professor at Cornell University in New York.  He will be a guest professor at Yale University during the fall of 2021.

The urban regeneratin wor on Eleftheria Square in Cyprus (due 2020).

More recently, he spearheaded the designs that deal with the future of workspace such as he Sberbank Technopark HQ (2016), the Kuzminki Masterplan as part of Moscow’s Residential Quarters regenetation project (2017), the Admiral Serebryakov Masterplan (2018), the Chongqing Smart Valley (2019), the Tushino Residential Development (2018), the Rublevo-Arkhangelskoye Smart City Masterplan (2019), the winning Sverdlovsk Philarmonique Hall in Yekaterinburg (2018), the winning Oppo HQ in Shenzhen (2019) in China, Sberbank’s Cultural and Business Center in Moscow (2019) as well as a variety of Smart City Masterplans in various reions on the world, predominantly researching the impact of digital techno-economies and Smart Systems on ecology and susainability.

Since founding the studio in 2009, Italians Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin have championed the need for value – laden advocacy merged with holistic design thinking. Their aim is to facilitate a deeper understanding of both our natural and built environments and to propose transformative interventions through design and its material, technical, social, and discursive possibilities.

Working from their studio in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the practice embraces a broad spectrum of typologies and methods, from product design through spatial design, strategic planning and design consultancy. Whether designing to a client’s brief or developing self – initiated projects, the studio applies the same rigorous attention to context, process and detail. As a result, Formafantasma’s entire portfolio is characterised by a coherent visual language and meticulously researched outcomes.

For Formanfantasma, this crossflow of knowledge and experience taken from both their commercial contracts and their more autonomous projects has benefitted and informed the respective other. It has also given them a unique perspective of the design industry, allowing them to acknowledge the legacy of industrial production as the fundamental source for the designer’s expertise and agency in contemporary society while also addressing its historic contribution to environmental instability.

The studio’s prescient insight into the challenges facing design, culture, the environment and society has earned them the patronage of an array of international clients such as Lexus, Flos, Fendi, Max Mara, Hermes, Droog, Nodus Rug, J&L Lobmeyr, Cassina, Bitossi, Established and Sons, La Biennale di Venezia, Rijks Museum, Dzek, Ginori, Hem, Maison Matisse, Bulgari, Samsung, Rado, Roll and Hill, Galleria Giustini / Stagetti, La Rinascente, Gallery Libby Sellers among others.

Alongside works for clients, their projects have been presented, published and acquired in the permanent collection of international museums including New York’s MoMA and Metropolitan Museum, Art Institute Chicago, London’s Victoria and Albert, Paris’ Musée National d’Art Moderne, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, CNAP, Fondation Cartier and Centre Pompidou, the Amsterdam’sStedelijk Museum, the Vienna’s MAK Museum , Utrecht’sCentraal Museum, Mudac Lausanne, North Carolina’s Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Rome’s Museo Maxxi, Vitra Design Museum, Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria, Triennale di Milano, LACMA, Tilburg’s Textiel Museum and others.

In March 2020 Serpentine Galleries dedicated a solo exhibition to Formafantasma and their in – depth investigation into the governance of the timber industry.

From September 2020 Trimarchi and Farresin have overseen the GEO–Design department at Design Academy in Eindhoven to further explorations into the social, economic, territorial and geopolitical forces shaping design today.

Alongside works for clients, their projects have been presented, published and acquired in the permanent collection of international museums including New York’s MoMA and Metropolitan Museum, Art Institute Chicago, London’s Victoria and Albert, Paris’ Musée National d’Art Moderne, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, CNAP, Fondation Cartier and Centre Pompidou, the Amsterdam’sStedelijk Museum, the Vienna’s MAK Museum , Utrecht’sCentraal Museum, Mudac Lausanne, North Carolina’s Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Rome’s Museo Maxxi, Vitra Design Museum, Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria, Triennale di Milano, LACMA, Tilburg’s Textiel Museum and others.

In March 2020 Serpentine Galleries dedicated a solo exhibition to Formafantasma and their in – depth investigation into the governance of the timber industry.

From September 2020 Trimarchi and Farresin have overseen the GEO–Design department at Design Academy in Eindhoven to further explorations into the social, economic, territorial and geopolitical forces shaping design today.

Since founding the studio in 2009, Italians Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin have championed the need for value – laden advocacy merged with holistic design thinking. Their aim is to facilitate a deeper understanding of both our natural and built environments and to propose transformative interventions through design and its material, technical, social, and discursive possibilities.

Working from their studio in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the practice embraces a broad spectrum of typologies and methods, from product design through spatial design, strategic planning and design consultancy. Whether designing to a client’s brief or developing self – initiated projects, the studio applies the same rigorous attention to context, process and detail. As a result, Formafantasma’s entire portfolio is characterised by a coherent visual language and meticulously researched outcomes.

For Formanfantasma, this crossflow of knowledge and experience taken from both their commercial contracts and their more autonomous projects has benefitted and informed the respective other. It has also given them a unique perspective of the design industry, allowing them to acknowledge the legacy of industrial production as the fundamental source for the designer’s expertise and agency in contemporary society while also addressing its historic contribution to environmental instability.

Alexey Kukovyakin, director and founder of Alkuta, honorary Architect of the Russian Federation, professor of the Moscow branch of the International Academy of Architecture (MAAM), member of the Union of Architects of Russia. Alexey Kukovyakin constantly monitors events in the world of architecture. He participated in the World Congress of Architects in Berlin (2002), Istanbul (2005), Turin (2008), Tokyo (2011). Multiple Laureate of the “Hand of the Master” competition, held by the Union of Architects of Russia, Laureate of the International Competition “Eurasian Prize 2018” – a gold diploma for the project “Multifunctional complex Main Avenue”, implemented in collaboration with the “Workshop of architectural and construction concepts”.
Alexey Kukovyakin is one of those who are obsessed with their profession. “On the one hand, culture, psychology and aesthetics, on the other hand, the quality of architecture depends on the use of technology. An architect does not have to fully understand all these things, but he must clearly understand their relationship. All this set of decisions affects the living, working or entertainment conditions in each case, inside and outside the object, ”says the architect.

Алексей Куковякин — директор и основатель фирмы «Алкута», почетный архитектор РФ, профессор Московского отделения Международной Академии архитектуры (МААМ), член Союза архитекторов России.

Алексей Куковякин занимает пост заместителя председателя Свердловского отделения Союза архитекторов России и заместителя председателя комиссии по профессиональной этике, постоянно следит за событиями в мире архитектуры. Участник ведущих отраслевых событий: Всемирного конгресса архитекторов в Берлине (2002 г.), Стамбуле (2005 г.), Турине (2008 г.), Токио (2011 г.). Многократный Лауреат смотра-конкурса «Рука мастера», проводимого Союзом Архитекторов России, Лауреат международного конкурса «Евразийская Премия 2018» — золотой диплом за проект «Многофункциональный комплекс Главный Проспект», выполненный в коллаборации с «Мастерской архитектурно-строительных концепций».
Алексей Куковякин из тех, кто одержим своей профессией. «С одной стороны культура, психология и эстетика, с другой стороны качество архитектуры зависит от использования технологий. Архитектору необязательно досконально разбираться во всех этих вещах, но он должен четко понимать их взаимосвязь. Весь этот комплекс решений влияет на условия для жизни, работы или развлечений в каждом случае внутри и снаружи объекта», — говорит архитектор.

Архитектурной фирме «АЛКУТА» в 2019 году исполнилось 27 лет. Как бы ни складывались обстоятельства в жизни и бизнесе, поступательное движение вперёд было единственной программой, от которой команда «Алкуты» не отступала никогда. Даже сложные периоды кризисов архитекторы использовали для разработки стратегических направлений развития фирмы.

Anssi Lassila (b. Soini Finland, 1973) is the founder and director of OOPEAA Office for Peripheral Architecture. His international breakthrough was the Kärsämäki Shingle Church in 2004. Lassila’s architecture displays his interest in combining a sculptural form with traditional materials and innovative techniques. For him, peripheral sensitivity is a vital part of the creative process. OOPEAA draws inspiration from ‘in-between’ states – between urban and rural, traditional and contemporary, local and international. In its approach OOPEAA emphasizes the potential embedded in exploring new methods and techniques as a means of developing new solutions in building. Their work is characterized by a strong interest in the way materials behave and experimentation with innovative solutions. It is about venturing into borderlands and identifying new possibilities where tradition meets the new.

OOPEAA works on a wide range of projects on varying scales from churches and public buildings to housing, office buildings and private houses to town planning, and urban visions as well as renovations and extensions to historically valuable landmarks. The office is based in Seinäjoki and Helsinki, Finland, and it currently employs a staff of 20. OOPEAA has been honored with significant awards and won several prizes in competitions both in Finland and abroad, including the Rice Design Alliance Spotlight Award in 2017, the Finlandia Prize for Architecture in 2015, the Wood Architecture Award in 2015, the Canadian Wood Design and Building Award 2016, and the American Architecture Prize 2016 in two categories. The work of the office has also been selected for the shortlist for the Mies van der Rohe European Prize for Architecture in 2005, 2011 and 2017, and nominated for the 2019 edition of the prize.

Ансси Лассила (Anssi Lassila), финский архитектор, основатель бюро OOPEAA, получил образование на факультете архитектуры Университета Оулу в 2002 году. Его международным прорывом стала Церковь Kärsämäki Shingle Church (2004). Лассила живет и работает в Хельсинки, Финляндия. Он является основателем и главным партнером аритектурной компании OOPEAA, ранее известной как Lassila Hirvilammi Architects Ltd. OOPEAA работает над различными проектами: церквями, офисными зданиями, жилищными и частными домами, дизайном интерьера и реконструкцией. В настоящее время офисы фирмы расположены в Сейняйоки и Хельсинки, Финляндия. Проекты OOPEAA были удостоены престижных наград и номинаций. OOPEAA быстро завоевала лидерскую позицию среди молодых финских архитектурных практик. Архитектура Лассилы демонстрирует его интерес к сочетанию скульптурной формы с традиционными материалами и современными техниками строительства.

Бюро OOPEAA хорошо известно за пределами Финляндии благодаря умению сочетать лаконичную форму с традиционным материалом — деревом и новейшими техниками строительства и обработки поверхностей. OOPEAA стремится к архитектуре, которая находит свое вдохновение в состоянии промежуточного положения — «периферийной архитектуре», смысл которой заключается в том, что и сами строения, и среда, в которой они расположены, представляют собой некое «пограничье», точку схождения разных пространств, материалов и культур.

Магнус Стром основал Ström Architects в 2010 году.

Он приехал из Швеции, чтобы изучать архитектуру в Портсмутском университете в 1995 году, получив высшее образование в классе со степенью бакалавра (с отличием) и получив две награды за дипломные проекты. После работы в Лондоне и Винчестере он продолжил учебу, чтобы получить диплом с отличием, а также получить премию RIBA South Region Award за выдающиеся дизайнерские работы, а также номинироваться на серебряную медаль RIBA.

После его окончания Магнус присоединился к уважаемой дублинской практике deBlacam и Meagher Architects, прежде чем его попросили присоединиться к John Pardey Architects в 2002 году на юге Англии.

Он отвечал за проектирование многочисленных частных домов, а также управлял несколькими крупномасштабными проектами смешанного назначения в Лондоне, Дублине и США.

Магнус по совместительству работает в Школе архитектуры в Портсмуте и преподает архитектуру на курсе архитектуры и инженерии в Саутгемптонском университете. Его практика специализируется на высококачественной современной архитектуре, уделяя особое внимание проектированию и доставке уникальных домов и одноразовых домов как в Великобритании, так и за рубежом.

Подход к архитектуре не является поверхностным или сугубо эффективным, вместо этого необходимо искать основы в человеческой жизни (клиент) и природе (сайт / среда). Это вдохновляет проекты и как пространства созданы. Через непрерывный и тщательный диалог со структурой, деталями, материалами и порядком, Магнус ищет целостный и тектонический подход в реализации архитектурных идей.

Технология допускает нашу архитектуру, но наша архитектура не определяется ею. Вместо этого это помогает нам эффективно строить таким образом, который является неотъемлемой частью архитектуры, а также является устойчивым. Практика стремится создавать здания, которые не кричат, но имеют архитектурное решение, которое выглядит как сдержанное, но мощное и с душой.

Fernando Romero (Fernando Romero), Mexican architect, founder of the architectural Studio FR-EE.

After graduating from Iberoamericana University, Fernando Romero worked with Jean Nouvel and Rem Koolhaas in Paris and Rotterdam. Then he founded FR-EE in Mexico city in 2000 and then opened an office in New-York.

FR-EE uses research combined with technological advances to create a range of public and private projects, including Museo Soumaya in Mexico city. The projects of the Studio are aimed at solving a wide range of private and public initiatives from urban development and green infrastructure to community formation. Romero recently collaborated with British architect Norman Foster in the development of a new airport in Mexico city, which attempts to become the most sustainable airport in the world.

The architect’s portfolio includes joint projects with such contemporary stars as Rem Koolhas, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel, Enrico Mirales.

Fernando Romero is the author of several books on the theory of architecture, including «Translation» – about the transition from modernism to the era of Web 2.0, and «Hyperborder» – about the illusory nature of the border between Mexico and the United States. His research has been widely published and he has received many international awards for his work. He also became an honorary fellow of the American Institute of architects (AIA).

Фернандо Ромеро (Fernando Romero), мексиканский архитектор, основатель архитектурной студии FR-EE.

После окончания Университета Iberoamericana Фернандо Ромеро работал с Жаном Нувелем и Ремом Колхасом в Париже и Роттердаме. Затем он основал FR-EE в Мехико в 2000 году, а затем открыл офис в Нью-Йорке.FR-EE использует исследования в сочетании с технологическими достижениями для создания целого ряда общественных и частных проектов, в том числе Museo Soumaya в Мехико. Проекты студии направлены на решение широкого круга частных и общественных инициатив от городского развития и зеленой инфраструктуры до образования сообщества. Ромеро недавно сотрудничал с британским архитектором Норманом Фостером в разработке нового аэропорта в Мехико, который стремится стать самым устойчивым аэропортом в мире.

Ромеро — архитектор новой эпохи, который черпает вдохновение в идеях великих современников и смело экспериментирует с формой. Он считает, что технология стремительно меняет, а границы теряют смысл. Эволюция цивилизации привела к резкому понижению роли локального, а архитектура сегодня — это сочетание местного и глобального, перевод амбиций заказчика, экономической ситуации, бюджета и законодательных ограничений на язык конкретного строительного решения.

В своем блоге Фернандо помещает все, что вызывает у него интерес. Наряду с предсказуемыми разделами “Архитектура” и “Дизайн” там можно найти информацию об электрических гоночных машинах, видеоклипы Дэмиена Херста, социологический анализ сайта Facebook и много другой неожиданной информации.

В портфолио архитектора совместные проекты с такими звездами современности, как Рем Коолхас, Норман Фостер, Жан Нувель, Энрико Миралес.

Фернандо Ромеро автор нескольких книг по теории архитектуры, в том числе Translation — о переходе от модернизма к эпохе Web 2.0, и Hyperborder — об иллюзорности границы между Мексикой и США. Его исследования были широко опубликованы, и он получил множество международных наград за свою работу. Он также стал почетным научным сотрудником Американского института архитекторов (AIA).

Ализи Брайон (Alizee Brion) родилась в Париже, выросла в Лондоне, имеет степень магистра архитектуры в Колумбийском университете в Нью-Йорке. До создания Light On White Ализи оттачивала свои дизайнерские навыки, работая с известными архитектурными и дизайнерскими фирмами, включая офис Филиппа Старка в Париже.

Сегодня Light On White – это известная международная студия архитектуры и дизайна интерьеров, специализирующаяся на элитных жилых проектах для частных клиентов и застройщиков по всему миру.

Профессиональное кредо Ализи выражается в том, что дом – это личность, а ее вдохновением является то, что люди слушают разговоры о том, как они хотят жить. У нее есть способность запечатлеть видение своего клиента и создать отличные функциональные и долговечные образы. В её творческом подходе отчетливо выражается страсть к искусству, любовь к природе и глобальным путешествиям.

«Признавая эмоциональное влияние, которое окружающая среда может оказать на нас, я тяготею к чистым линиям, нейтральным тонам и гармоничному наложению текстур, которые вызывают чувство спокойствия», говорит Ализи о своем авторском стиле.

Маналу Рачди (Manal Rachdi) удалось создать глобальную, любознательную, открытую, восприимчивую, многокультурную команду Oxo Architects. Он играет ведущую скрипку в открытой рабочей среде, в которой проявляются лучшие творческие способности, объединенные целями и целеустремленностью членов команды.

Oxo Architects завоевал международную репутацию благодаря своим проектам, которые определяют высокотехнологичные и программные подходы. Кроме того, проекты разрабатываются так, чтобы использовать ресурсы с разумными затратами и смешивать традиционные задачи, такие как жилье, отдых, работа и коммерческая деятельность, для создания новых форм симбиотических культур.

Команда Oxo Architects обладает способностью сочетать взвешенный анализ, необузданные эксперименты и социальную ответственность в каждом проекте. В результате практика рассматривается как генерация нового поколения архитекторов. Дизайнерское осмысливание каждого проекта начинается с глубоких исследований того, что Манал Рачди называет «Чувствительная археология контекста», с целью исследовать различные системы для построения эффективных зданий, в то же время определяя чувствительную архитектуру. Фактически, история и происхождение являются якорем современной архитектуры. Фундаментальные исследования от глубины участка до других элементов окружающей среды, таких как ландшафт, метеорология, социальные привычки или традиции, могут помочь разработать наиболее гармоничный проект. Подобное исследование открывает сбалансированный диалог между архитектурой и природой.

В нашумевшем проекте  многоцелевой башни под названием L’Arbre Blanc (Белое дерево)  архитекторы Oxo Architects в соавторстве с Sou Fujimoto Architects, Nicolas Laisné Associés во всей полноте продемонстрировали принцип архитектуры свободного выбора, которую они считают основой будущего жилищного строительства, когда все начинают с «жилфонда», когда покупают свою квартиру и не ограничиваются изготовленными «под ключ»  изделиями. Вместо этого им предоставляются возможности, модульные внутренние пространства, которые они могут выбрать из каталога дополнительных функций и планов этажей.

Oxo Architects is a Parisian architectural practice founded by the architect, Manal Rachdi. The office has crafted a global, curious, open, receptive, multicultural team. It defines an open work environment that brings out the best creative talent, united in purpose and commitment.

Oxo has built an international reputation thanks to its projects that define high forwardthinking technical and programmatic approaches. Furthermore, the projects are designed wisely to use resources with reasonable costs and mix conventional programs such as housing, recreation, work and commercial to create new forms of symbiotic cultures.

Oxo has the ability to combine judicious analysis, mischievous experimentation and social res- ponsibility to each project. As result, the practice is considered as part of the new generation of ar- chitects. The design thinking of each project starts with several studies in what Manal Rachdi calls

«The sensitive archeology of its context». The goal is to explore different systems in order to build efficient buildings, while defining a sensitive architecture. In fact, the history and origins are the anchor of today’s architecture. Researching from the site depths to other environment elements such as the landscape, the meteorology, the social habits or traditions can help to design the most suitable project. This research opens a balanced dialogue between architecture and nature.

Manal Rachdi (OXO Architects) win prestigious competition to remake a Parisian neighbourhood – the “Réinventer Paris” (Reinventing Paris) competition for the site of Pershing in Paris with their project “Mille Arbres” (Thousand Trees). The firm are also associated with the team of Sou Fujimoto Architects (based in Tokyo).

«Recognising the emotional impact that our environments can have on us, I gravitate towards clean lines and neutral tones and a harmonious layering of textures that inspire a sense of calm».
