TODD SAUNDERS

About Speaker

Todd Saunders is a Canadian architect who founded the studio Saunders Architecture based in Bergen, Norway, in 1998. The award-winning firm has completed cultural and residential projects around the world, with a bold modern aesthetic that combines a strong sense of place with an emphasis on craftsmanship and meticulous detailing. Every project represents a carefully managed relationship between architecture and nature.

This respect for remote, spectacular and often challenging sites is paired with a strong social ethos and belief in the role of architecture as a meaning of invigorating and sustaining communities. His projects include the Fogo Island Inn and artists’ studios in Newfoundland, Canada, the Illusuak Cultural Centre in Nain, Labrador, Canada, and the Solberg Tower on the Norway-Sweden border demonstrate this multi-layered approach.

Event text

One year after we held our first event in Oslo, we will be back in Norway at Vulkan Arena on September 19!

Architects, not Architecture or “AnA” – as the name suggests – provides a glimpse on great personalities of architecture. The event series is not about the projects of the architects, but the people behind, their professional backgrounds and formative individual experiences, that shaped the projects we all know.

On 19 September 2019, two Norwegian and one Canadian (Bergen-based) architect will talk about their personal experiences and important creative periods within their work and, as always at “AnA“, not a word may be lost about their projects themselves:

The three of them are well-known names for their significant and fascinating work. Kari Nissen Brodtkorb, architect and educator, is recognized as one of Norway’s most relevant housing designers. Her architecture stroke not only due to the economic and practical factors of housing but as well as precious and characteristic factors. Einar Jarmund, who founded in 2019 “Einar Jarmund & Co AS Arkitekter MNAL” after twenty years partnership with Håkon Vigsnæs at Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Arkitekter, is driven by an untiring ambition to understand the spirit of the places, both urban and rural. The Canadian-born and Bergen-based Todd Saunders Architecture works with dynamic building and material experimentation with traditional methods and a strong contemporary design sensibility. 

Look forward to exciting lectures and discussions with our inspiring guest speakers.
Doors open at 5pm. The talks will start at 6pm. 

The event will be held in English.

This event is kindly supported by our partners BoConceptSchüco Norge and JUNG.
