Episode Synopsis

In conversation with Khondaker Hasibul Kabir, we discuss the work of Co.Creation.Architects and together explore their humble approach on how architects can be useful to cities and communities. Through their work, CCA reframe the role of architecture towards a form of embedded practice positioned with purpose and in the service of those human and non-human communities that are ‘in the shadows’. 
In this radical reimagination of practice, architects are not simply designers, but ‘doctors of houses’ and ‘organisers of dreams’. Organisers of collective dreams that were only uncovered with care-full transfers of power and organisations of spaces and opportunities to be together.
