Identity, memory, and ways of living are the main themes explored by Chilean architect Nicolás Norero in his new personal podcast, where he converses with prominent architects from across the Americas, such as Chilean Mathias Klotz, American Rick Joy, and Mexican Frida Escobedo.
"My goal is to talk with people I admire and respect. Memory, identity, and ways of living are intangible concepts, but in my view, they are fundamental to our discipline," Norero told ArchDaily. "Through a biographical lens, we understand how architects develop their own language and a unique way of doing things," he adds.
In this episode, Norero spoke with Frida Escobedo, whom he met at this year's Immersion Workshop, an event organized by Rick Joy, Scott Lawrence, and Kevin Nguyen in Woodstock, Vermont, where Escobedo was invited as a guest instructor.
"We discussed how Mexico and its culture have influenced her practice, and her approach to the diverse types of commissions her studio currently takes on," the Chilean architect comments.
Some of the works discussed by Escobedo and Norero include:
