#15 Gert Wingårdh
När gemene man tänker på svenska arkitekter är det få namn som dyker upp lika snabbt som Gert Wingårdh. Med sex Kasper Salin-pris – fler än någon annan – och som folkkär programledare för Husdrömmar har han format den svenska arkitekturdebatten i decennier. Nu är han aktuell med sin självbiografi Gula fläcken, där han reflekterar öppet om sitt liv, sin karriär och de lärdomar som format honom. I detta samtal diskuterar vi arkitektens eviga balansgång mellan komplexitet och enkelhet, mellan intuition och analys. Gert berättar om sin skapandeprocess, varför han fortfarande ritar för hand, och hur han ser på sina egna verk i efterhand.I avsnittet diskuterar vi följande projekt: Villa Hansson, Liljevalchs, Mill House, Universeum, Chalmers Kårhus och Nationalmuseum..
