Architecture Speaks! Søren Linhart, Seiler Linhart
Rasmus Norlander
Architecture is a continuation of history. It preserves traces of society that cannot be recorded in any other way. Through architecture, we can understand where we have come from and where we are heading, while at the same time defining what we leave to future generations. These questions are explored in the Architecture Speaks! lecture series through this season's theme, Local Memory.
Jointly organised by Aalto University and the Architecture & Design Museum, the international lecture series Architecture Speaks! brings together current voices and perspectives in architecture. Invited architects share insights into their design processes, their work and their role in the field of architecture.
In the twelfth season of the lecture series, Professor and Head of Department Jenni Reuter invites seven speakers to share insights into their design work under the theme Local Memory. The seventh and final lecture is held by Søren Linhart.
The lectures are held online in English and are free to attend.
Søren Linhart
Seiler Linhart Architects, based in Lucerne and Sarnen, is a regionally rooted practice founded in 2001. Their work combines tradition and modernity through a holistic understanding of architecture as “Baukunst” – the art of building – integrating artistic, cultural, constructive and technical aspects. Each project begins with a thorough analysis of its context, programme and users. A central aim is longevity, from spatial organisation and construction to material selection and detailing. The architects favour robust materials such as wood, stone, metal and plaster, while innovative construction techniques reinterpret regional traditions. Their architecture combines functionality, technical precision and poetic expression.
