How to Build a World-Class Studio From Zero | Beyond Form

Описание: "I had exactly six weeks of money left in the bank when I started my own studio."

Most architects wait for a perfect financial safety net before striking out on their own. Sigurd Larsen did the opposite. After training with industry giants like OMA (Rem Koolhaas), MVRDV, and COBE, Sigurd walked away during a recession with nothing but a plan and 1.5 months of savings.

In this raw and transparent conversation, we unpack the reality of that risk. Sigurd explains how a "childish" furniture project called "The Shrine" became his Trojan Horse into the industry, and why he believes the Hollywood stereotype of the "stubborn, complicated architect" is a toxic myth that young designers need to let go of.

From the "Wild West" days of Berlin, Sigurd shares a masterclass in creative resilience, the power of collaboration over ego, and why sharing your best ideas is the only way to truly grow.
