In the tenth series of the BHSF office talks, we will talk about the architectural project. Freely based on the 1996 Schwarzenegger movie “Eraser”, we are interested in the process of erasing, changing and adapting – in relation to built or unbuilt work. While in the movie, US-Marshal John Kruger is forced by the the weapon industry and the Russian mafia to get to work with two machine guns at once, there are probably other factors at play in our everyday work making the eraser necessary.

Our guests will focus on the transformations of buildings and designs in which the balance between erasing and leaving structure was necessary and good, projects that were strongly worked on with the eraser and which have nevertheless – or exactly because of this operation – gained importance for the respective practice.
