The starchitect era is over 🙅🏽 – by Chris Precht of Studio Precht. With “great” architect, Chris is meaning here “star” architect. During a round table discussion, in response to an audience question about becoming a “great” architect, Chris Precht shared his perspective on the traditional “starchitect” model, which often emphasizes individualism and ego in architecture. Chris advocates for a more collaborative approach, believing that the celebration of the individual will be replaced by the power of teamwork and collaboration. ▶️ Chris joined us for our London event in October. You can watch his unique talk in full on our website under “Archive”https://lnkd.in/dBwxQFxG. This statement is from the round table discussion, which is not published online.

MEET THE TEAM 5 Questions -Jindra Pavlista, Architect What has been your highlight at KOHLERSTRAUMANN so far? Jindra: My highlight at KOHLERSTRAUMANN has been working on early conceptual stages of projects, defining each design's essence. A standout moment was my first architectural competition, which offered valuable insights into the creative process and the dynamics of collaboration. Winning the competition was incredibly rewarding, showcasing our collaborative efforts.   What are your five words that come to mind when you think of KOHLERSTRAUMANN? Jindra: Meaningful, Collaborative, Explorative, Agile, Vibrant   What is your favorite working time and why? Jindra: One of my favorite moments at work is when we embark on a new project. It's exhilarating to dive into the initial brainstorming sessions, where ideas are flowing, and creativity is at its peak. During these moments, I feel fully engaged in the problem-solving process, discovering innovative solutions, and truly immersed in my passion for architecture.   Which dish would you cook in the office and why? Jindra: In the office, I would choose to cook Koprovka, a traditional Czech dish often served on Sundays. I’d prepare a vegetarian version with creamy dill sauce over dumplings, bringing a comforting taste of home to our lunch breaks.   If you could be a building, which one would you be and why? Jindra: If I could be a building, I would choose the Žižkov Television Tower in Prague. The tower sparked my imagination since I was a child with its resemblance to a spacecraft. It provides a different perspective on everyday life, allowing me to step back and see things in context. It symbolizes reaching new heights, both literally and metaphorically. #meettheteam  #kohlerstraumann  #architect  #basel  #switzerland
