In this episode, Rebeka sits down with Fleur Watson of Something Together and Anne-Laure Cavigneaux of March Studio to chat about the incredible new book, March Studio: Making Architecture, Material and Process. A collaboration between RMIT and Thames & Hudson, this monograph dives deep into March Studio’s unique approach to design, from their early days crafting iconic Aesop interiors to their larger-scale public projects today.
Fleur, the author, reveals how the book captures not just the finished projects but also the creative journey behind the scenes—prototyping, experimenting, and collaborating. Anne-Laure shares how seeing their work through Fleur’s eyes was like looking in the mirror for the first time and discovering themes that connected their projects in ways they hadn’t realised.
The conversation also explores the value of creativity, resilience, and trust in client relationships. It is a celebration of the artistry and innovation evident in March Studio’s work while encouraging architects and designers to embrace experimentation and collaboration.
So, grab a coffee and have a listen, we are sure you’ll then want to get your hands on a copy of the book to flip through the pages and get inspired by the endless possibilities of architecture that dare to be different. It’s a coffee table favourite here at BuildHer Collective HQ!
