This lecture explores the architectural work of AMUNT, a collaboration between Björn Martenson, Sonja Nagel, and Jan Theissen, focusing on idiosyncratic houses, extensions, interior fittings, and spatial interventions. The lecture delves into their approach of engaging with clients' needs, context, and a desire for innovative planning. It discusses the principles of intelligent floor plan design, creating spaciousness, and utilizing different levels to structure space effectively. Additionally, it examines the concept of mixed-use areas in urban planning, the history of the separation of housing and business, and the current trends towards urban density and hybrid urbanity.
