Starting from their interest in architecture as a means to explore contemporary society and to negotiate established cultural patterns, Bolle Tham and Martin Videgård will discuss some of the ideas on the parallel and conflicting contexts that have produced T&Vs built work and projects since 1999 when they co-founded Tham & Videgård Arkitekter.
Bolle Tham (Stockholm 1970) studied architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, at the Ecole d’Architecture de Paris-Bellville, and at the International Laboratory for Architecture and Urban Design in Urbino. He started his own practice in 1996. He teaches in architecture schools in Sweden and abroad.
Martin Videgård (Stockholm 1968) studied art history at the University of Stockholm and architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and at the Oporto School of Architecture, Portugal. He worked in architectural practices in Stockholm before forming his own practice in 1997. He teaches in architecture schools in Sweden and elsewhere and is member of the Board of Association of Swedish Architects.
