PA Talks

Join us at PA Talks 68 for an exclusive office tour and interview with Arthur Mamou-Mani, an acclaimed architect renowned for his innovative use of 3D printing and eco-friendly materials. Based in London, Mamou-Mani leads a pioneering architectural practice that combines cutting-edge digital fabrication with sustainable design principles. From creating mesmerizing pavilions like the Galaxia Temple at Burning Man to developing modular structures, Mamou-Mani is at the forefront of a new era in architecture—one where creativity meets environmental consciousness. In this video, we explore his studio's unique approach to design and fabrication, revealing how they push the boundaries of what's possible in sustainable architecture.

In PA Talks 67, we sat down with Winy Maas, the visionary co-founder and principal architect of MVRDV, the acclaimed Dutch architecture firm known for redefining urban design and innovation. Since 1993, Winy led MVRDV alongside Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries, crafting groundbreaking projects that earned global recognition. Beyond architecture, Winy served as a Professor of Urbanism and Architecture at Delft University of Technology and drove The Why Factory, a think tank dedicated to exploring future cities.

We had a deep conversation with Philippe Block, professor and head of the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA) at ETH Zurich. He co-leads the Block Research Group (BRG) with Dr. Tom Van Mele, focusing on innovation, computational design, 3D printing, fabrication, and construction of sustainable structures and minimizing construction waste. During our conversation, we talked about BRG, the future of computational design, 3D fabrication, engineering, and teaching methodologies.

We had a great conversation with Patrik Schumacher, the principal architect of Zaha Hadid Architects. At ZHA’s London Office, we discussed his approach to parametricism, parametric design, computational tools, artificial intelligence, education, and the future of architecture.

In this episode, we had a great conversation with Jesper Wallgren. Jesper is the co-founder and the Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Finch 3D, which utilizes AI, graph technology, and advanced algorithms to optimize design processes. His short videos showcasing new ways to generate architecture have been seen by millions worldwide.
