As a platform for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Louisiana Channel has been stimulating conversations around architecture, art, and the creative world at large. The architecture series provides fascinating insights into the thought process of distinguished architects and their work. Discover seven of the most inspiring interviews created over the past year, discussing a wide array of subjects from exemplary projects, to cities, to architects' design philosophy.

German architect Anna Heringer talks about the recently inaugurated Anandaloy centre in Bangladesh, a social space that became a catalyst for local development. The architect shares her commitment to sustainability and touches on the importance of the transfer of know-how to local communities through participatory building processes.

Junya Ishigami talks about Tokyo and what he sees as the defining traits of the vibrant and diverse metropole. Discussing what he likes about the city, the Japanese architect underlines Tokyo's polycentrism and explains how being made up of different small town allows the city to preserve its very local characteristics.

The architect speaks passionately about time as the most important human resource and why this notion should be applied to architecture: "Architecture outlives the human life." Anupama Kundoo reflects on the sense of urgency governing the current design process and urges architects to take time to rethink their work and refine their designs.

"Architecture, I believe, is necessary to mark collective memory." One of the leading contemporary American architects, Peter Eisenman, here shares the thoughts that went into building the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, and how he sought to transform a feeling of "being lost in space in time" into the memorial.

Jens Thomas Arnfred and Sren Nielsen, co-founders of the award-winning Danish practice Vandkunsten Architects, talk about nurturing the sense of community through design and reflect on the studio's preoccupation with planning in a way that gives the residents "a chance to meet each other and be together about something."

"If things created by humans should function next to natural things, the passing of time is necessary. Only the passage of time will bring forward the kind of landscape I want to create," says Junya Ishigami when talking about his award-winning project, the poetic landscape Water Garden.

Indian Pritzker Prize-winner Balkrishna Doshi narrates how he became an award-winning architect, his traditional Hindu beliefs and culture, and why he considers a building a living, growing organism.
