360°

Location: Mock Up

How can we change the script for the future, for social change and new perspectives, taking the architectural scene and profession in new directions? Can we mobilize common acts producing new knowledge, shaping platforms for action and new narratives? Through the format of a 360° talk we will learn about the processes that occur behind the scenes of architecture, discussing the foundations of the architectural field, from theory and politics to future sustainable practice, suggesting new prototypes for practice.

09.45-10.45

Sébastien Marot and Ellen Braae

Who Takes the Country’s Side?

Today, after almost two centuries of a divorce and estrangement that has led architecture and agriculture into parallel dead ends of metropolitan congestion and monocultural desert, the reconnection of those two arts is badly necessary and a precondition to any sustainable future. A deep talk between Marot and Braae on the effects on the development of the architectural field.

Charlotte Malterre-Barthes

A Global Moratorium: Architecture Without Extraction

If, or when, calling for a global moratorium on construction and for architecture without extraction, what change would that bring to the profession, and what new architectural roles would emerge? Meet Charlotte Malterre-Barthes in a critical and speculative conversation, where we are asking ourselves: What are the effects of the radical shift we need to make to create a sustainable future within the field of architecture and within our societies, and where do we even begin?

To Think Through Things

What role does academic institutions have in building a sustainable future and how does this include a decolonization and decarbonization of the education? With a new world order emerging, with new centers of knowledge production and control, how does that affect institutions and subsequently the practice? Listen to Lesley Lokko on the Open Festival 360° scene in a critical conversation about the future of the architecture profession and how we can and need to shift focus in a time of crisis.
