Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AD Basel: Barbara Buser - baubüro in situ
Q: How did you develop the model of finding underused buildings, creating companies for each project, and then handing them over?
Buser and her colleagues identified vacant buildings, imagined new uses, secured funding, and created separate companies to operate projects such as restaurants or market halls. Once a project was established, they transferred their shares to its operators.
AD Basel: Barbara Buser - baubüro in situ
Q: How did your experience in Africa change the way you approached architecture and projects?
After years working with donated funds, Buser questioned aid models and concluded that projects should be economically viable and able to operate without donations or sponsorship. She applied business planning and risk assessment to her architectural work.
AD Halifax Series: Rayleen Hill - RHAD
Q: Is there a specific type of project that you have not yet done that you would love to be able to do?
Hill wants RHAD to be considered for larger projects without having to partner with a firm from outside Nova Scotia. She argues that clear process, team capability and experience with complex small projects demonstrate readiness to take on larger work.
AD Halifax Series: Rayleen Hill - RHAD
Q: What is it about architecture that you don't feel you knew going into it, that really blew you away as you were in school?
Hill says architecture is about how people respond to buildings, how design activates public space, makes people comfortable and enhances views. Buildings are the lens through which those experiences happen.
AD & ID: Kyle Bergman - Architecture & Design Film Festival
Q: So how do you take something that is, you know, in Vermont, it goes into Tribeca, and now all of a sudden you start expanding it into other markets?
He found that festivals worked best as regional events and began taking the curated program to other cities, tailoring local Q&As and partnerships to each place.
