Philip Michael Brown was a senior designer at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC in New York and a design associate at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP in New York and started his firm Philip Michael Brown Studio in 1999. I first contacted Philip following the release of his book about Exterior Cladding Design Studies a few months ago and the fact there are many similarities in our workflow and focus on design. We kept in contact since then, discussing issues related to our industry and an Interview was born.

The first image I’ve seen by SOA‘s Roberto De Rose was the Maison Hermes personal work based on Renzo Piano’s Hermes building in Tokyo. I was so amazed by it I asked him to share more information about it and it became one of the first making of articles on this blog – Making of Maison Hermes. Roberto is on the CityLIFE Challenge jury panel and those of you coming to Academy Day #2 in Venice this October will get to meet him and Gianpiero in person. For the time being here is an Interview that will shed valuable light on the insides of SOA… Enjoy!

The interview with MIR I published almost a month ago, followed by great feedback from the community, has driven me to keep exploring the studios I consider interesting and inspirational. LUXIGON is one of these studios, featuring clients such REX, MVRDV, OMA, BIG, Oppenheim, Mecanoo, asymptote, and more in their portfolio. I enjoyed this interview very much, and fell in love with their sense of humor and passion for what they do as I’m sure you will too – I’ll just have to keep doing these. ITS GREAT!

Interview with MIR

I’m always looking for sources of inspiration as reference for my visualization work. I’m searching for it in traditional art, architectural photography, movies and obviously in architectural visualization done by others. Norway based studio MIR has become a regular inspiration station for me. They have a unique style and manage to produce some of the most emotional visualization I have seen to date. I wanted to take my interest in their work one step further so I contacted them and started a conversation that turned into this interview. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.
