CAREER AND PROFESSIONALISM
From buildings to books and animations, WAI Think Tank approaches architecture from all angles
By: Mackenzie Goldberg / archinect.com
"Since its beginning, WAI (an acronym for What About It?) has been a concept in which questioning takes center stage."
Books, magazines, film, animations, installations, exhibitions and curatorial programs, teaching and workshops, performance, buildings and more. Today we are talking with WAI Architectural Think Tank, a practice started in 2008 by Nathalie Frankowski and Cruz Garcia that approaches architecture from a variety of mediums and expressions.
How did the two of you come together?
Some months after graduating from architecture school at the Universidad de Puerto Rico (Cruz) and Paris La Villette (Nathalie, after following her undergraduate studies at the Architecture School in St-Etienne) both of us moved to Brussels for our first post-school experience in an architecture practice. It was in 2008, only a few weeks before the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. In a matter of days, markets around the world were waving white flags, and architecture studios were preparing for the worst. Big studios were laying off employees by the masses, closing some of their satellite studios; small offices were struggling just to stay open. In a short period of time, we had to work on several international and local competitions. The pessimism in the air, mixed with the deep feeling of uncertainty, made it clear for us that we were in need for a more critical form of architecture. We took it as an allegorical anti-climax; to be released into the world, so to speak, in a moment when the relationship between free market capitalism and architecture seemed detrimental.
