In this episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, Gerard Reinmuth and Scot Balmforth, co-founders and directors of Terroir, speak about their practice in this, its 25th year of operation.

Terroir are a collective of architects and urban designers based in Tasmania, Australia and Denmark, with a large portfolio of work that includes significant civic, recreation, health, education, housing and commercial work, such as the Penguin Parade, Philip Island, Victoria, the extension to the World Maritime University, in Malmö, Sweden (with Kim Utzon) and the Bernie Maker’s Workshop in Tasmania, among many award-winning schemes.

Gerard and Scott ably describe parts of Terroir’s particular, situated and global approach to architecture, urban design and research, guided by four core principles: Contextual Engagement, Civic Generosity, Material and Spatial Experimentation and Collaborative Practice. These they articulate not only in their built work, but luckily for us, in a series of three books – Instruments (2019), Third Spaces (2019) and Territories (forthcoming 2025), all published with Uro Publications.

Terroir is a terrific practice and Scott and Gerard are the best ambassadors for it, of course, but more generally for a new type of design practice rooted in place, conscious of people, time, ethics and obligation, wrestling with the significant problems of being a Good Architect in the uneven terrain of contemporary society.

Have a sticky and find out how.
