Welcome to the 3d season of Woods in the Sound: ARCHITECTURE(S) OF CONNECTION and to this 1st episode: Architecturаl Imaginaries for Planetary Habitability
This season we are contemplating and reflecting on regenerative spatial practices. Can architecture(s) support multispecies conviviality and contribute to cultivation of ecological futures? How to think the project of human inhabitation in present times of ecological imperative? What can we learn from vernacular, contemporary and emerging knowledges of spatial practices, as well as multilingual situated dialogues?
In this episode we are contemplating a bigger picture, the wider territorial scales of thought and action, pondering on how a more respectful cohabitation can be real, and what critical perspectives may assist in framing the contemporary architectural practices that promote life, diversity and coexistence.
