#58 BeAr (ES), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This episode, we travel to Bilbao, Spain, to meet Ane Arce and Iñigo Berasategui, the duo behind BeAr. From their pov, architecture is a discursive practice. “We want to talk with our architecture.” But how can you sustain a discourse without becoming trapped in it?
Every project is an opportunity to begin again. They refuse specialisation and claim a certain naivety as a way of approaching a project. Sometimes, being radical means doing very little. Other times, it means transforming almost everything. “The first radical approach is to understand what is there.”
Tradition, for BeAr, is not something to reproduce literally, but something to reinterpret. Familiar elements can produce radically new forms, without losing their connection to the people who recognise them.
Construction is not what comes after design. It is part of the design process itself. And the process doesn't necessarily end when the building is finished. “The beautiful thing is that the building continues its life on its own.”
After all, “every decision we take on a project has political consequences.”

#57 Point Supreme (GR), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This week we travel to Athens, Greece, to meet Konstantinos Pantazis, co-founder of Point Supreme, alongside Marianna Rentzou.
They claim that “architects nowadays have forgotten their larger social role” as it is not just about buildings but the city as a whole. And yet, the city is not singular. “Cities are made out of all of us, our different beliefs and desires.”
Their projects reflect this multiplicity and unfold as open systems.“Every project is like a sample of spaces, conditions, situations.” Not bound by scale. In fact, “we are not interested in any particular scale at all”, they say. But by the possibility of combining fragments, references, and realities. “We try to bring as much ideas, references and situations as possible.”
This openness is also a way of testing clarity. “We want our proposals to be understood by our grandmothers.”
This also extends to how they represent architecture. Their images are constructed worlds: collages of many painters, many photographs, many objects. “It’s not about aesthetics,” they insist. “It’s about allowing the viewer to be free from any particular association.”
It is not about controlling meaning, but about constructing frameworks where meaning can emerge. A strategy not to explain too much but to open things up.
Perhaps, in a time that struggles to imagine the future, their work doesn’t offer a single vision but something more collective: a space where many can emerge.

#56 DOSCRE (CH), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD
This episode, we travel to Zurich, Switzerland, to meet Pablo Donet, who together with Tim Schäfer and Tanja Reimerfounded Donet Schäfer Reimer Architekten (DOSCRE) in 2018.
Their work doesn’t begin with a manifesto. “It’s not about dogmas,” they say. “It’s things we find out by doing things.” Drawing becomes a way of thinking. “Only by drawing, and drawing and drawing again, you suddenly see something, and then you work on it.” Nothing is invented in isolation; everything is tested, evaluated, adapted.
Housing is their main field of experimentation. Project after project, typologies multiply rather than stabilise. What some might call constraints become productive triggers: “we try to take the full potential out of these limitations.”
Multiplicity is not a weakness but a strategy. “We always fail to choose one image that transports the whole project, there is too much multiplicity.” Columns, windows, colours, plans: differentiation allows architecture to absorb contradictions instead of resolving them too quickly.
They speak of naivety as a tool, of identity elements as ways to compensate for what housing often lacks, and of Zurich as a place that appears progressive yet remains deeply conservative.
“We don’t have a language yet,” they admit. “Sometimes I wish we had.”
Perhaps the work lives precisely in that unresolved space.
