建築家オーレ･シェーレンにとっては、建物の中に暮らし働く人々もまた、コンクリートや鉄やガラスと同様に建物を構成する大切な要素です。彼は問います。「典型的な高層建築がもたらす分断と階層のかわりに、協力と物語を建築の中心に据えることはできないものか？」 中国のよじれた巨大ビルからタイの水上映画館まで、シェーレンが作ってきた５つの建築を見て、その背後にある物語に耳を傾けてください。

優れた建築が語る物語

Buildings are not just functional objects; they shape, and are shaped by, the lives within them. By reimagining skyscrapers as interconnected communities, a Beijing tower for 10,000 people became a living organism rather than a vertical hierarchy. Projects in Singapore, Berlin, London, and even a floating cinema in Thailand, reveal how architecture can foster collective experiences, blending technical systems with vibrant social spaces. True innovation in design emerges when structures become platforms for collaboration, connection, and the unfolding of many narratives.
