Guest: Beat Huesler

Talk: Spirit of Place

Rhythms of Matter continues with an open talk by architect Beat Huesler, Director of the European Office at Oppenheim Architecture.

Working across studios in Miami, Basel, and Tirana, with projects spanning six continents, Oppenheim Architecture has developed a body of work defined by a deep engagement with place, climate, and material. Their approach is grounded in the belief that architecture should be symbiotic with its environment, balancing contextual sensitivity with evocative formal expression.

Guided by core principles such as spirit of place, silent monumentality, and the essential, the studio creates architecture that is both expressive and restrained, rooted in context and shaped through a careful use of material, light, and craft.

From desert landscapes to coastal and urban environments, their work explores how buildings can respond to climate and culture while maintaining a strong and enduring presence.
