James Brillon, a third-year M.Arch student, speaks with European architects Giovanni Piovene and Ambra Fabi of PioveneFabi in advance of their lecture at the school on March 19, 2018. \nThey discuss how objects play into architecture and how they attempt to use local materials in their projects to see cities in different ways. They also touch on how teaching has shaped not only the creation of their practice but also how they now design. \n\u201cThe reason we started this office is because we were each really thinking about process in a completely different way\u2026 almost opposite from one another.\u201d \n\u2013Giovanni Piovene\nMore information on PioveneFabi at http://www.piovenefabi.it \nMore information on their lecture at https://www.arch.columbia.edu/events/818-piovenefabi
