Podcast appearances and mentions of david gianotten

What should the role of the architect be in an ever changing world?David Gianotten is an architect and managing partner of OMA, Office for Metropolitan Architecture. He was a recent speaker at Sydney Design Week discussing the changing responsibilities of the profession.

Het Rotterdamse OMA, een toonaangevend internationaal bureau dat zich richt op architectuur, stedenbouw en culturele analyse, is een van de exposanten op de Perth Design Week. Het bureau is bekend in Perth, zo ontwierp het een paar jaar geleden al het WA Museum Boola Bardip. En er komt binnenkort een nieuw prestigieus project aan. We belden met een van de directeuren van OMA, David Gianotten.

In deze podcast gaat Annick van Rinsum in gesprek met David Gianotten, architect en managing partner bij het Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). David verdiepte zich niet alleen in architectuur maar ook in uitvoeringstechniek en de economische en bestuurs- kant van de bouw. Zo ontwaarde hij steeds weer dat er veel meer open ligt en kan aan het begin van een nieuw project. Voor geen enkel project ligt er één vaste aanpak klaar, maar er ligt juist een taak voor de architect om gedurende het proces de mogelijkheden in kaart te brengen en vergezichten realiteit te maken. beeld: © Vincent van den Hoogen

When Gregory Doran was appointed Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2012, his stated ambition was for the company to stage the entire canon of plays in the First Folio, the first printed collection of Shakespeare's plays. Ten years on and having just completed his plan, with the premiere of a new production of All's Well That Ends Well, he joins Nick Ahad to reflect on the changing nature of his relationship with the Bard. Nick visits Birmingham to see the rehearsals for WASWASA – Whispers in Prayer, an art installation and performance by artist Mohammed Ali which explores the act of Islamic prayer in a secular society. Taiwan has a new cultural landmark, the Taipei Performing Arts Centre. Arts critic Debra Craine was in the Taiwanese capital for the opening of the state of the art building, designed by Dutch architects Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten. Debra joins Nick Ahad to discuss why the Taipei city government commissioned the £185 million complex for theatre, dance and opera.

A conversation around White Cube, the Dutch documentary by Renzo Martens that features OMA—the architecture studio behind MPavilion Monash. Hear from Congalese artist Cedart Tamasala, dutch documentary maker Renzo Martens, our 2018 architect David Gianotten, Congalese architect Arsene Ijambo and artist Eléonore Hellio in conversation with urban planner and architectural theorist Helen Runting on the making of the documentary 'White Cube'. ABOUT THE FILM White Cube follows the work of Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise (CATPC), a plantation workers’ cooperative based on a former Unilever plantation in Lusanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. From the boardrooms of Unilever, to elite museums and galleries across the world, to the exhausted plantations of The Congo, the film documents the CATPC’s success in ending the destructive system of monoculture on their lands with a combination of art and activism. In moving viewers between the violence of the plantation system and the aesthetic ‘civility’ of the white cube, the film highlights a fundamental question: can museums ever hope to be inclusive when no reparations have yet been paid to the plantation workers who financed—and in some cases continue to finance—the very foundations of these institutions?

OMA Managing Partner, David Gianotten, joins the podcast to discuss collaborating with Rem Koolhaas, the design process behind Potato Head Studios and the Taipei Performing Art Center, and his transition to leading one of the world’s leading design firms - OMA

Gesprek met David Gianotten, managing partner – architect bij OMA, over de bredere rol die het bureau nu op zich neemt, over zijn persoonlijke drijfveren, en over projecten als het Bajes Kwartier in Amsterdam, de nieuwe Kuip en het gebied eromheen in Rotterdam, en het Taipei Performing Arts Centre in Taiwan.

’Je kunt alleen maar trachten het zo menselijk mogen te doen’, zei architect Koos Pot-Keegstra in 1978 over haar revolutionaire ontwerp voor de Bijlmerbajes in Amsterdam. Ze wilde geen tralies en liefst heggen in plaats van prikkeldraad. De kenmerkende torens worden in 2019 gesloopt, de materialen hergebruikt voor een nieuwe wijk. Het Bajeskwartier heeft net zulke hoge ambities als de bajes destijds. Voor deze tweede aflevering lopen we nog één keer door de roemruchte gevangenis met tijdelijk beheerder David van Dommelen. Oud-directeur Frans Douw vertelt over het leven binnen de muren. Stedebouwkundige Ellen Monchen van de gemeente Amsterdam, en David Gianotten van architectenbureau OMA blikken vooruit op het plan voor het Bajeskwartier.

MPavilion 2017 attracted international acclaim as one of the top civic spaces in the world today. Designed by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten of OMA, MPavilion 2017 was named by Wallpaper* as one of the top buildings that shaped culture in 2017. In an interview with Dezeen, Rem Koolhaas said, “We are happy that MPavilion can perform as a theatre of debate around the city and its development, and contribute to the ongoing civic discourse of Melbourne.” In this exclusive behind-the-scenes event, we shared the details behind MPavilion 2017 from the perspective of its many key collaborators, including: Paul Jones (OMA), Tony Isaacson (Kane Constructions), Ben Cobham (bluebottle), John Noel (Arup) and Helen Wellman, and Tract Consultants. Together they walked us through their material, technological and botanical decisions around this year’s design, providing a behind-the-scenes peek into everything that goes into designing, building and wiring up MPavilion 2017’s groundbreaking, amphitheatre-inspired temporary structure.

Having a baby changes your perception of the city. Suddenly, things become less accessible: trams are difficult to lift a pram into, there’s no space in your favourite cafe to change a nappy and events happen at night while you soothe your baby to sleep—and so the trials of new parenthood are mostly screened off from public view. (Some public institutions do offer parenting facilities, but they’re usually hidden away next to the toilets.) Collaborative duo Guest, Riggs will invert this private spectacle and take us with them, by turning MPavilion 2017 into a public performance of the banalities of new parenthood, where the rotating grandstand of Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten’s amphitheatre-style structure will raise nappy-changing to new cultural heights. Guest, Riggs take Rem Koolhaas’s and David Gianotten’s statement that the space could function as a playground literally: the floor will be given over to babies’ exploits, made possible with a series of baby-friendly interventions within the pavilion. Across four events in our summer program, a rolling line-up of speakers will address the exclusion of parents from cultural events and the architecture of new parenthood by creating a space for parents and babies. (Non-parents welcome too!) The fourth and final instalment of this gathering, ‘CITY’, will focus on the cityscape of parenthood: How can we improve experiences of parenthood, citywide? And what are the major infrastructural and cultural changes that could improve parent amenity? Carla Pascoe will discuss the history of motherhood in Melbourne; and Carolyn Whitzman will speak about how urban planning might better accommodate babies and parents in the city. We’ll also be celebrating the first birthday of Stephanie Guest’s baby! This event is proudly supported by Baby Rest.

With the long-held title of ‘world’s most liveable city’, Melbourne regularly attracts international interest as an economically viable space for exploration. In the eighties and nineties, an appetite for the international architectural elite drew the likes of I.M. Pei and Kisho Kurokawa to Melbourne. More recently, OMA—and its research arm, AMO—turned its attention towards Australia, describing it as the next frontier of architectural opportunity and possibility. In Melbourne, we’re fortunate to possess a vibrant local design community, proud of its pursuits of innovation and excellence—but for whom the question of Melbourne’s evolving identity also generates impassioned debate. Does OMA’s recent interest in Australia foretell a new era of ‘starchitecture’ in Melbourne, and what does this mean for the preservation of local culture, architectural or otherwise? Peter Corrigan and Robin Boyd were pioneers in translating international design to a local sensibility—how can Melbourne continue to benefit from global knowledge and experience? And what can we glean from the successes and failures of other cities? In short: are prestigious international firms usurping or supporting existing networks of local architectural culture? These are just some of the questions PROCESS—an independent public forum on architecture and design—will ask in its annual end-of-year debate, this time inside MPavilion 2017, designed by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten of OMA and intended as a space for public debate. Speakers include: Andy Fergus, urban designer at City of Melbourne and co-director of Melbourne Architours; Joachim Clauss, associate director at Bates Smart; Lisa Gerstman, co-curator of PROCESS, EmAGN committee member and member of the RAP Working Group; Mark Raggatt, ARM Architecture co-director; Nicole Allen, senior designer at Grimshaw and masters studio leader at MSD; and Sarah Lynn Rees, a Palawa woman descending from the Plangermaireener people of north-east Tasmania, Charlie Perkins scholar, director of Indigenous Architecture and Design Victoria (IADV) and project manager of MPavilion’s inaugural regional program.

The council-assigned parents’ groups, Facebook groups, the so-called village it takes to raise a child, the public library, the pool and the museum—what is the role of community in developing spaces for parents and babies? Guest speaker Karen Pickering will talk about her role as the architect of a very special online parenting community, leading interactive community-building exercises, while Clementine Ford will reflect on parenting in public and the need for greater community involvement—particularly by men. A number of Melbourne Museum representatives will also join the line-up to discuss baby-friendly community spaces: Murphy Peoples, experience developer; Scott Parker, senior exhibition designer for permanent exhibition Ground Up: Building Big Ideas, Together; Jo Pritchard, senior graphic designer for the Children’s Gallery; and Naomi Fogel, senior exhibition designer for the Children’s Gallery.

Guest, Riggs take Rem Koolhaas’s and David Gianotten’s statement that the space could function as a playground literally: the floor will be given over to babies’ exploits, made possible with a series of baby-friendly interventions within MPavilion. The first instalment of four events across our program is titled HOUSE and focuses on the architecture of parenthood in the domestic realm: the housebound experience, the baby stuff you have to make space for, and your favourite breastfeeding chair. Jessica Friedmann will read from her collection of essays Things That Helped, which charts her journey through postpartum depression after the birth of her son, and discuss the overlap between ordinary experiences of new parenting, mental illness, and other forms of disability. She will draw upon the question: what aspects of the city are still accessible to new parents, when they experience both the social exclusion that comes with a new baby and the physical and mental sensitivities to stimulus that accompany PND? Natalie Miles and Caitlyn Parry—together Studio Neon—will discuss their experience of setting up a collaborative practice in the presence of a small human, and how this affected their working process and, in turn, their work. They will show Studio Neon’s competition entry for the ‘Workplace of the Future’ which is based around a pram walking loop (which they designed while pushing a pram around the streets of Coburg). Natalie will also present ‘Mills—The Toy Management House’ which she worked on with Austin Maynard Architects. Visitors will also see a mobile installation by Studio Neon referencing the theme of House — which we can all expect to see develop throughout the series. Additional dates, with themes and guests to be announced, for MMeets—A stage for new parenthood: Tuesday 14 November 2017, 12pm–3pm Tuesday 12 December 2017, 12pm–3pm Tuesday 16 January 2018, 12pm–3pm This event is proudly supported by Baby Rest.
