“Creating something that makes sense to people and not just to architects”: Interview with Diogo Brito of OODA

Subscriber Access

No País dos Arquitectos is a podcast created by Sara Nunes, who also runs the architectural film production company Building Pictures. The podcast aims to introduce the professionals, projects, and stories behind benchmark contemporary Portuguese architecture. With just over 10 million inhabitants, Portugal is a highly intriguing country within this professional field, and its architectural output far outstrips its population and territorial scale.

In this episode of the fourth season, Sara talks with architect Diogo Brito from the firm OODA about the conversion project of the former Campanhã Industrial Slaughterhouse in Porto, co-designed with Kengo Kuma.
