Episode 2: Diversity and representation in architecture and design education Safe Space

    • Documentary

Our guests this time are Tu-Uyen Phan-Nguyen, architecture student; Mikael Oscar Johansen, landscape architecture student; Nebil Zaman, artist and furniture designer; and Josina Vink, professor and researcher in design. We approached topics such as access to design and architecture education, starting from the youth’s exposure to design and artistic fields, to how differences in social and cultural capital hinder some social groups’ access to design education. We also talked about how broadening design education, thinking and practice to be more inclusive of different perspectives and references is essential to deconstructing the hegemony of the privileged majority in our profession. This conversation was moderated by Safe Space Collective members Bui Quy Son and Paul-Antoine Lucas, and recorded on May 13, 2021.
