    Living Dialogs S3E1: Bridging the gap between living and architecture: metabolic buildings, technological species, and a culture of care with Areti Markopoulou and Manuel Kretzer

    In this episode, Professor Dr. Manuel Kretzer and Architect and Urban Technologist, Areti Markopoulou join Living Dialogs host Edgar Cardenas in a thought-provoking conversation about buildings as organisms, reconceptualizing resource scarcity, and architecture’s impact on people and the environment. The dialog implicitly reflects a strong return to Indigenous and communal ways of understanding our relationship to Nature and the species around us, and asks us to think about what that might mean as we expand the definition of the word species and our ideas of life itself.

    Living Dialogs, Season 2 Episode 1: Listening to Many Voices: Inclusivity and Living Architecture With Behnaz Farahi, Bianca Weeko Martin, Michael Lee Poy, Brian Porter

    Can the buildings that we live in come alive? Could such living buildings help us to create a healthier, more sustainable future? Could they become adaptive, resilient structures that care for the planet while empathizing, comforting and inspiring us? The Living Dialogs podcast brings together scholars and thinkers to collectively reflect on living architecture and its implications for our changing world. In each episode, guests and listeners are invited to reflect on prompts designed to encourage thoughtful, in-depth discussion. You are invited to contribute your own thoughts and questions, which may be taken up at a live webinar with the same guests a couple of weeks following each episode's release. This extended format is born of our belief that knowledge creation is also a collaborative and living endeavour - that meaning is not simply created through the exchange of information but that ideas are formed through open and emergent conversations. In this episode, four guests from diverse backgrounds and practices explore the connections between inclusivity and the philosophy and practice of Living Architecture.
