In the twelfth season of the Architecture Speaks! lecture series, organized jointly by Aalto University and the Architecture & Design Museum, Professor and Head of Department Jenni Reuter invites seven speakers to share insights into their design processes and their roles in the world of architecture. The theme of this season is Local Memory.

Buildings carry memory through their materials, construction techniques, traces of use, and relationship to place. By reusing and adapting existing buildings, fragments, local materials, and techniques, architecture can continue rather than erase history, allowing different time periods to coexist. This approach can preserve and strengthen the social, ecological, and cultural values of the built environment while revealing its hidden potential. Architecture thus becomes an expression of collective responsibility and ecological awareness, connecting past, present, and future.

08014

08014 is a Barcelona-based architecture practice founded in 2018 and led by Adrià Guardiet and Sandra Torres. Their work across architecture, public space and landscape is characterised by precision, site-specific design and research into typology, materials, technology and environmental impact.

In 2023, 08014 was recognised at the AR Emerging Awards as one of fifteen emerging international architecture practices of the year. Their work has received recognition in numerous competitions and awards and has been featured at events including the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Venice Architecture Biennale. Their projects have also been published in leading architecture magazines such as Architectural Review, El Croquis, Arquitectura Viva and Detail. Alongside their practice, the studio’s members teach architecture at universities in Spain and Switzerland.

“I invited 08014 because of their commitment to typological, environmental, technical, and material research; their attentiveness to site-specific conditions; and their sensitivity to the resources used and the impacts generated.” – Jenni Reuter
