In the context of today, it is critical to ask who we are, why do we do what we do, and how do we do it? – as individuals and as a collective profession.
Architectural Practice will explore the thematic of “Radical Work” through a series of case studies, workshops and symposia. We will stand back and re-view the value of practice and the role professionals play in shaping our environment. What does it mean to be ‘radical’ and why the urgency?
A focus of Architectural Practice will be around the value of practice (rather than what we produce from it). What is our purpose? How do we connect and communicate? How do we/why should we interrogate the work we do? What does it mean to ‘be radical’?
The space of work has shifted (online and/or home) and this will be the “new normal”. How do we reorganize the way we work when collaboration is a key element to creative practice? How can we seize the opportunity of this reorganization to create a different mode/model of practice?
