Our 9th stop is in Munich (Germany) alongside Max Otto Zitzelsberger.

“Thinking about architecture can also be architecture”, so Max shares his visions through multiple drawings, paper models and eventual constructions.

Do you know those spaces you hold in your memory, yet you are not there anymore? Those spaces…are they space? It is not a space one can use but perhaps it is. “All the ideas you have in your head are potential spaces and potencial architecture.”

But what is architecture? “No one knows. For you it’s something different than it is for me. And if you ask me next week, perhaps I’ll have a totally different answer. Perhaps this is what makes it really interesting. No-one can say what it is.” But we keep on doing it anyway.

We get to talk about copying and about references and about thinking…we talk a lot about thinking.

Have you ever been flashed by a project you saw on Instagram? These inputs are amazing but can be very tricky. “Perhaps, one reason why I don’t build so much is because one moment I am really sure about something and the next moment I am not.”

What if this is all a coincidence in which “the right idea, at the right moment, comes to the right person and then there is a person near by which understands…”
