Abstract

Architect Constantin Lodzia Brodzki (1924 - ) talks to two architecture students in January 2014. He talks about his internship at the United Nations and his collaboration with the American office of Harrison, Abramovitz & Abbe, about the changing conditions of the commission and the profession of architect, about prefabrication and ventilated curtain wall techniques, the difference in the designer's attitude to the office building and single-family house programmes, the influence of the heroic-fantasy genre in the construction of his imagination, as well as other architects who influenced him (Paul Bonatz, Henry Van de Velde, Victor Hora), but also his 'anti-references'. Finally, Brodzki expresses his opinion on Santiago Calatrava's Guillemins railway station and on some of the current challenges facing architecture.

Thibaud Gauin

Thibaud Guain (Agen, France, 1992)
After obtaining his degree in Architecture in Bordeaux, he spent an Erasmus year in Master 1 at the Faculty of Architecture La Cambre Horta (ULB). Fascinated by the two workshops HTC and APA, he enrolled the following year to complete the Master's cycle and extend the adventure with a final year project entitled "La culture en maillot" for the transformation of the Citroën garage (with Margaux Levecq, Cyndelle Renneson and Theophile Flécheux) and a final year project on the German origins of the transformations of theatre architecture in the 20th century under the direction of Emilio Lopez Menchero. He then returned to France to obtain his Habilitation in Project Management from a chief architect of historical monuments. Since August 2017, he has been based in his village, Prayssas, and works in collaboration with an old school friend, Arthur Beigbeder. This first year of work is a new adventure, mixing various projects (micro-crèche, maternal assistance relay, pharmacy, extensions, catering premises, mushroom farm) mainly in rural areas.
