A new show that measures the impact of #architecture in human life
Architecture critic Tom Dyckhoff looks at how architecture affects us at home, work and play, and discovers the secret ways that buildings profoundly affect our behaviour, feelings and identity.
In “The Secret Life of Buildings”, Thomas addresses the point from the real consumer perspective, as inhabitants of a human designed space, and breaks into pieces the nonsense of starchitects with big egos. Tom Dyckhoff challenges the works of architects like Frank O. Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Bjarke Ingels, and Sir Norman Foster, putting them face to face with the people living/working/playing in the place they designed. The 3 episodes are centered around the building use typologies: Home, Work, Leisure, and some very questionable experiments on physical health or psychology are presented to fundament the findings.
