Failed Architecture is a podcast on architecture and the real world. By opening up new perspectives on the built environment, we seek to explore the meaning of architecture in contemporary society. FA challenges dominant spatial fashions and explores alternative realities, reaching far beyond the architectural community. We combine personal stories with research and reflection, always remaining committed to the idea that architecture is about social justice and climate justice, pop culture and subculture, representation and imagination, and everything that happens after the building’s been built.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Colombian Perspectives
It is really hard to get perspectives from real voices from the protests in Colombia on international mediums. This is focused on student/academic voices, but they are from people who have real concern over public space and social communication.
Excellent podcast
Fascinating conversations with people thinking deeply about the built environment. Highly recommended.
