Enrique Walker is an architect and Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University, where he also directs the Master of Science program in Advanced Architectural Design. His publications include Tschumi on Architecture: Conversations with Enrique Walker (Monacelli, 2006) and Lo Ordinario (Gustavo Gili, 2010).
"We have conducted a number of conversations about your work over the past few years. In particular, we have discussed a design problem that, in my opinion, was recurrent in your early projects: many of them entailed a correction to an existing architecture by means of a room, or a set of rooms. I would suggest to carry out this interview by simply continuing the conversation from where we left off, and examine the current status of your argument on rooms through the projects you have recently built, and which are collected in this volume. Since a body of work inevitably becomes consistent in retrospect, monographs are exceptional opportunities to establish common denominators and, in turn, trace arguments at play in the work. I would suggest that we examine each of your projects in terms of the constraints of their respective briefs, the design questions you raised around those constraints, the strategies you articulated to address those questions, and their material implications."
