Episode Synopsis "Living Dialogs S3E1: Bridging the gap between living and architecture: metabolic buildings, technological species, and a culture of care with Areti Markopoulou and Manuel Kretzer"

In this episode, Professor Dr. Manuel Kretzer and Architect and Urban Technologist, Areti Markopoulou join Living Dialogs host Edgar Cardenas in a thought-provoking conversation about buildings as organisms, reconceptualizing resource scarcity, and architecture’s impact on people and the environment. The dialog implicitly reflects a strong return to Indigenous and communal ways of understanding our relationship to Nature and the species around us, and asks us to think about what that might mean as we expand the definition of the word species and our ideas of life itself.
