About this listen

Courageous in form, sensual in concrete and precise in process, Belgian architect Magalie Munters designs buildings like sculptures. Her architecture feels fluid and almost bodily, yet remains technically exacting. At the heart of her work lies a fascination with the interplay between classical clarity and innovative experimentation, craft and technology, and emotion and logic. Combining digital design tools with an artisanal understanding of materials enables her to take an all-encompassing approach, where structure, atmosphere and technology form one seamless whole. For Munters, it's not just about building efficiently; it's also about letting technology create beauty and poetry. Her search for a new way of building unites rigour and softness, rationality and sensuality, thereby reinventing what architecture can be. In this episode of the JUNG Talk Podcast, we speak with Magalie Munters about her sculptural approach to design, the philosophy behind her Soft Brutalism, the tension between craft and technology, and why true innovation often begins where rules are broken.
