The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app, , and the are pleased to continue their collaboration with The Architecture of Place: In Conversation with..., a series of interviews featuring three architects and designers from different backgrounds and points of view: Austin Tunnell, Mamdouh Sakr, and Joachim Tantau. Over the three-part series, each speaker has the chance to play the role of both interviewer and interviewee. In each installment, one of the three architects interviews another about the influences, experiences, and projects that have led to their design perspective on the architecture of place. At the end of each session, students from partnering university departments pose additional questions to the speakers, followed by an open Q&A with attendees.
In this iteration of the series, Mamdouh Sakr interviews Joachim Tantau about his work, background, and design perspective.
Joachim Tantau is a young artist based in Hamburg, Germany. Born in 1988 he has been creating furniture and architectural objects since very young age. What started as a hobby at his father’s workbench eventually became a vocation, leading him to opening his own studio in 2013 after receiving a Masters Degree from The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts, London.
His artistic repertoire spans a diverse range, encompassing architecture, furniture, interiors, sculptures, and objets d'art. In his work he merges contemporary design aesthetics with the timeless beauty of Sacred Geometry. The design for every unique piece he creates is hand drawn with compass and ruler and carefully executed in his studio using time-honoured techniques of fine cabinetmaking.
Joachim has also been selected by The King's Foundation School of Traditional Arts, London to teach his techniques and principles to aspiring artists and designers all over the world.
