The failures of modernism left cracks that contemporary thinking still grows out of. Which elements of the past should we leave behind, and which should we strategically re-embrace?

LAURA MARTÍNEZ DE GUEREÑU | MIES DIDN’T COME HOME THAT NIGHT
Architectural history have been and continues to be dominated by white men, criminally overlooking female figures, who have otherwise left an indelible mark on the field. This includes Mies van der Rohe whose ’partner in crime’, Lily Reich, was never credited for her contribution to the Barcelona Pavilion and other collaborations. Can a forensic conversation on the materialisation of neglected authorship add new perspectives on Mies’s legacy and disappearance?

MARWA AL-SABOUNI | BUILDING FOR HOPE
In Al-Sabouni’s reading, Syria was not only destroyed by war. It had already been weakened by decades of spatial fragmentation and poor urban governance. Through a rich tapestry of personal experience, unflinching perspective, and unsettling insight, Al-Sabouni further argues that peace and hope are negotiated not only through politics, but also through streets, neighbourhoods, schools, and public spaces. If that is true, how should architects take greater responsibility for the social consequences of what they design, asking how architecture can build peaceful societies, or at least avoid undermining them?
Marwa Al-Sabouni (SY): Architect, urban thinker and author
Moderator: Nora Ramadan Jepsen (DK/EG): Architecture student, Aarhus School of Architecture

KIEL MOE | LESS IS LESS. UNLESS
Architecture today reorganises nature and society in ways that demand attention and new methods of description. In particular, the immense material, energy, and labour involved in building require a new interpretation. While modernism taught us to ask what a building looks like, Moe encourages us to ask what ecological materials and social processes a building sets in motion, before, during, and long after its construction. Can we, through the example of one of the most modern of modern architectures, the Seagram Building, cultivate a broader definition of what architecture is and could be?

MERIEM CHABANI | CITYMAKING FROM A DECOLONIZING POINT OF VIEW
NEW SOUTH stems from the conviction that the South only exists in opposition to a North. In a desire to decolonize architectural discourse and explore its variations, from the suburbs of Algiers to the suburbs of Paris, Chabani seeks to bring excluded voices into spaces where decisions about the city are made. But what does decolonizing architecture mean, and how can it change the way architects actually work?
