Interview with Hernan Diaz Alonso

Interview with Hernan Diaz Alonso

This was the first of a series of planned interviews with architects and theorists on the occasion of their lectures at the Architectural Association.

Hernan Diaz Alonso, head of Xefirotarch, was interviewed by Joao Bravo da Costa, Galo Cazares, and Mateo Riestra. He was asked to comment on the most important challenges to contemporary architecture, and to explain his work, his motivation, and the importance of research.

A summary of the interview will be available on this site, charting an accelerated digression from architecture to B-movies, the horrific, personality, and jazz.
