Call for Abstracts: Architecture as Intervention Through and Beyond Building
Architecture is a set of practices that revolve around the act of building. While some parts of the planet are inordinately overbuilt, some parts remain unoccupied. As the urban-rural dichotomy slowly dissolves into being in or off the grid, the act of building often brings about urban expansion and proliferation. In the midst of planetary challenges, humanitarian crises, and pervasive spatial injustices, an inquiry persists: What are we currently building, and why do we continue to do so? These questions transcend prevailing ways of construction. They call for an examination of the existential, ethical, and socio-economic dimensions of architecture. Can architectural interventions present solutions? Or, do they amplify existing problems?
