Bernard Tschumi

Synopsis

Architect Bernard Tschumi, speaking with Nigel Coates, argues for a vision of architecture as a dynamic and disruptive event within a context, as a way of making things happen. He talks about the critical importance of movement in his own architectural practice and describes how he attempts to design movement generators into his buildings.
