Author: Anylab Experimental Studio July 3, 2019 Duration: 42:17
This episode’s guest is Patrik Schumacher, principal of Zaha Hadid Architects. This interview was recorded in Zaha Hadid Architects Studio in London. Patrik is one of the most influential figures in architecture today, with his educational background in both philosophy and architecture. He lectures around the world, contributing articles to journals and publishes books on parametricism. Patrik Schumacher founded the leading-edge Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association in London, focuses on parametric design in architecture and urbanism. A true believer in innovation, Patrik is not someone who shies away from engaging in challenging conversations on some of the most crucial issues of our generation. His constant desire to push limits makes him an “outside-the-box” thinking within the profession. In this exclusive interview, we talk about his leadership in a world-famed firm carrying one of the biggest names in modern architecture, Zaha Hadid; the future of architecture and urbanism and why he is so passionate about creativity.

From the team at Anylab Experimental Studio comes AnylabTalks, a series of conversations that lives in the rich, often overlooked spaces where artistic practice, architectural thinking, and design philosophy converge. This isn't about surface-level trends or finished portfolios; it's about digging into the foundational stories and personal inquiries that actually shape creative work. You'll hear discussions that move from the grand scale of a city's form to the subtle detail of a material's texture, always with an ear for the narrative that changes how we see these disciplines. The podcast creates a particular kind of atmosphere-one where assumptions are gently dismantled and familiar concepts are turned over to reveal their undersides. Each episode feels like stepping into a studio mid-process, where the goal is less about definitive answers and more about fostering a genuine, deep reflection on what it means to make and think about the world around us. It's for anyone who believes that the most interesting ideas are found in the overlaps and collisions, and who enjoys listening as a conversation patiently unfolds toward new, unexpected points of contemplation. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of the forces that quietly drive art, architecture, and design forward.
