In this episode of GSAPP Conversations, Fabrizio Barozzi—who co-founded the Barcelona-based practice Barozzi/Veiga with Alberto Veiga in 2004—discusses the practice’s process and obsessions, including how they position themselves in the architectural landscape and why they are sceptical of defining their own architectural “language”. For Barozzi, research and an engagement with history are integral to the way his practice works operates.
How to find your own voice, starting from a different environment, or a different context […] maybe this is one of my obsessions.
