Make Materials Matter plot

“There’s something honest about raw materials,” says Copenhagen-based architect Søren Pihlmann, one of the most captivating new voices in contemporary architecture. His approach emphasizes starting with what already exists: existing structures, overlooked materials, and a careful observation of the context. This film portrait describes Pihlmann’s vision and practice, in which minimal intervention and the intelligent use of materials are key concepts. An advocate for radical simplicity, reuse, precision, and contextual awareness, Pihlmann promotes slowness as a radical principle in a field where waste is still commonplace for spectacular results.
