Listen "Episode #04 | On Architectures in crises w/ ateliermob"
Episode Synopsis
In conversation with Tiago Mota Saraiva, we discuss the work of ateliermob and Working with the 99% and together explore the transforming role of an architecture studio amidst economic and democratic crises
Through their work they continuously and explicitly push the boundaries of architecture, rejecting any of the boxes the discipline is trying to fit them in. Moving beyond their acclaimed community kitchen in Teras da Costa, they reject the aestheticization of informality and call for the architect’s entanglement in the political and legal spheres. These new modes of engagement and action, supporting communities in their spatial claims, chart a new course for architecture in times when the future appears hopeless.
