Otoño de 2013, me dirijo a una entrevista con Florian Beigel y Philip Christou a la Architectural Research Unit (ARU) en la London Metropolitan University. No tengo ni idea de cómo funciona su estudio —no sé realmente si hacen proyectos o investigación—, pero el magnetismo de sus escritos, conceptos espaciales y exquisitas obras y paisajes construidos, me resulta fascinante. Después de tres horas de conversación donde se habla mucho más que de arquitectura, Florian suelta su propuesta: “¿quieres hacer un doctorado con nosotros? Pero no sería un doctorado tradicional, eso no nos interesa ahora mismo, sería un doctorado proyectual [by design], es decir, que implica ‘ensuciarse las manos’ proyectando como herramienta de investigación.” En aquel momento no sé con certeza a qué se está refiriendo. Nunca he oído hablar de ello en mi universidad, en Barcelona. Pero me seduce el potencial latente de mezclar proyecto e investigación, teoría y práctica: sin pensarlo mucho más, acepto el reto.
