Designing Liveable Futures | Tatjana Schneider & Jeremy Till
What does climate breakdown to do architecture?
At the end of last year, I received a stunning book in the post: Architecture is Climate delivers an uncompromising review of the state of human and more-than-human affairs. Written by MOULD, a research collective of academics and architects, the book targets the architecture industry specifically for its role in engendering the crisis, asking not what architecture can do for climate breakdown, but what does climate breakdown to do architecture?
MOULD architects, Tatjana Schneider and Jeremy Till, join me to discuss exactly that: the exploitation of space. We explore spatial relations as social relations, examining architecture as a nervous system which can tell us how to live. We discuss what space is, how we understand space, how we move in space, and how we can live through what we live in. In this moving episode, both Tatjana and Jeremy tell wonderful stories about projects reimagining the role of architecture from an industry which perfects objects, to an effort which designs spaces that facilitate living and community and collaboration.
