Constructing Practice: Something Fantastic

8 January 2018

Julian Schubert

Julian Schubert of Something Fantastic talks about how the practice started and how teaching and traveling influence their work. Constructing Practice traces the narratives of young firms from around the globe, featuring the participants of a Columbia GSAPP symposium that took place on November 17, 2017, and expands the conversation to include many others, to tell us how they do what they do. Hosted by GSAPP Professor Juan Herreros, principal of Estudio Herreros in Madrid.

Something Fantastic was founded in 2010, in Berlin, Germany, by three architects: Leonard Streich, Julian Schubert, and Elena Schütz. The firm’s agenda is based on the idea that architecture is affected by everything and vice versa – meaning that architecture affects everything, and therefore working as architects implies a broad interest and involvement in the world. The studio operates in the extended field of the discipline, aiming to make a difference through smart, touching, simple, prototypical projects.

“We think it would be great if cities would start to think about street space as a space where many things can happen rather then just infrastructure that brings cars from A to B.”
—Julian Schubert
