With the support of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, the Architects’ Council of Europe is launching today a new podcast series Archi’Voices: European reflections on exporting services.
In dieser Serie bringen wir die Perspektiven von fünf Architekten aus Deutschland, Griechenland, Polen, Frankreich und Malta zusammen und teilen ihre Reisen, architektonische Dienstleistungen über ihre Grenzen hinaus zu nehmen.
“Archi’Voices – European Reflections on Exporting Services, a podcast series by the Architects’ Council of Europe, captures the journey of European architects as they exand their services internationally. This experience, which carries the challenge of taking architectural expertise beyond familiar borders, makes the architectural practice a different method that need to be analysed and balanced. In den verschiedenen Episoden decken die Architekten verschiedene Aspekte dieses Prozesses ab, wie das Navigieren durch verschiedene Vorschriften und Codes, das Anpassen an unbekannte Lebensweisen oder das Versöhnen kultureller Unterschiede. Diese Hindernisse erfordern nicht nur technische Fähigkeiten, sondern auch die Fähigkeit, effektiv über Sprachbarrieren und kulturelle Kluften hinweg zu kommunizieren. Jedes internationale Projekt wird zu einer einzigartigen Erfahrung, die nicht nur technisches Know-how, sondern auch Diplomatie, kulturelles Bewusstsein und Anpassungsfähigkeit erfordert.
Despite these challenges, working internationally presents immense opportunities for growth and professional enrichment. Collaborating with international teams fosters creativity and innovation, as diverse viewpoints come together to solve complex problems. Architects who take on this task become more than just designers—they become ambassadors of their craft, blending respect for local traditions with their own creative vision.
The stories shared in “Archi’Voices” highlight the experience of 5 European architectural practices, with diverse resources, sizes, and exporting destinations. However, all of them share common challenges that are reflected in the various episodes of the project. In this way, the podcasts become a useful tool for those who want to start this journey” highlighted Sergio García-Gasco, Chair of the ACE IBM task force.
Whether you’re an experienced architect looking to expand your practice globally or simply curious about practicing abroad, this podcast offers firsthand insights from real European professionals who’ve done it. Listen it on your favorite podcast platform: https://audmns.com/nIsXOkt
