Episode 3: Who are we designing for? – Engaged modes of practice Safe Space

    • Documentary

We invited two generations of engaged Norwegian architects Håkon Matre Aasarød together with Else Abrahamsen and Jack Hughes to discuss the question of who we build for. While architecture is rooted in the basic human need for a dignified living space, the access to quality architecture is often determined by the background and capital of the client. By mutualizing our experiences, we argued for different ways of practicing architecture in order to challenge the status quo, and reflected on modalities and methods of how to do so. This conversation was moderated by Safe Space Collective members Bui Quy Son and Armelle Breuil, and recorded on May 19, 2021.
