Negotiations

How does an anti-exclusive architecture look like? Who does it serve? What methods can architects employ when engaging with community-oriented housing? And how can this type of work be the foundation for creating alliances and nurture bonds of solidarity? 

These are questions that carries a curiosity on the ethical and political aspects of architectural work – a curiosity which runs through the work of Büro Juliane Greb. In the lecture, structured around a series of projects, Juliane Greb will touch upon methods, ethics and repair aesthetics when reflecting on the question of ‘how do we live together?”.
