Session 1
Who is redefining the potential of architecture? We want to look beyond the icons and the status quo, we are inviting innovators in architecture, urbanism and design. We will be hearing their stories within the contexts of social justice, diverse knowledge systems, technology, climate change, and regenerative design. Learning from key concepts brought to light in the Global Studio and hearing from new perspectives.
Through embracing decolonization and decarbonization, what tools can be used to disrupt the hierarchies of power and Knowledge in architectural research and practice?
What does a decolonized and decarbonized world look like?
We are addicted to our present world, what would a transitional narrative look like and what are the tools?
What is the role of designer/architect as activist in the transition to a decolonized world?
