#113

Описание: Elke Sterling-Presser and Nicolas Sterling are the founders of STERLING PRESSER ARCHITECTS + ENGINEERS in Berlin an interdisciplinary practice that brings architects and civil engineers together from the outset and where structural logic and spatial experience are conceived as one. We speak with Elke and Nicolas about their approach embodied in projects such as the Theater Park Bridge in Taiyuan, China, their impressions from Cityscape Global 2025 in Riyadh held under the theme “The Future of Urban Living”, their interest in the indigenous culture of the Kogi of Colombia and what contemporary architecture can learn from ideas of balance, long-term responsibility, and respect for the environment. A focussed discussion on connection - across disciplines and continents. Birgit Eller Krumm is host of episode 113 of KAP (https://www.kapture.ch/) Podcast.
