Pierre d'Avoine: Housing, imagination and belonging.

In the second episode of 2022/3's A is for Architecture offer, I speak with architect, writer and educator, Pierre d'Avoine, about his book Dwelling on the Future: Architecture of the Seaside, Middle England and the Metropolis, published by UCL Press in 2020. We talk about Pierre's background and his route into architecture, the focus of his work over the years and the motivations and insights of the book. Pierre is principal of Pierre d’Avoine Architects, and teaches at the Architectural Association, running Unit 14 with the architect Pereen d'Avoine, principal of Russian for Fish. Dwelling on the Future is available as a free download from the UCL Press website, and Pierre can be watched speaking about it at the London Met open lecture series here. Pierre is on LinkedIn here. I have known of Pierre's work for as long as I have been involved in architecture, so this conversation was a real treat. I hope you enjoy it.  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Music credits: Bruno Gillick + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + aisforarchitecture.org Apple: podcasts.apple.com Spotify: open.spotify.com Google: podcasts.google.com
