Building worlds: Encounters of Praxis & Obsolescence
The talk will use recent work to consider questions of obsolescence for buildings and cities. It will investigate the entanglements between modernist architecture, collective memory, and meaning in the built environment, to offer reflections on an antimodernist ethos of care, repair and participatory praxis.
