ROTOR radical architecture RAPS keynote

Описание: The film is a keynote from the first RAPS (Radical Architecture Practice for Sustainability) international online conference on ‘Radicality’. The conference aimed to explore, imagine and radically shift conceptualisations of architecture practice for sustainability. RAPS is a research initiative that seeks to understand how radical architecture can shift current dominant paradigms of evidence-based and quantifiable measures of sustainability, and yet deliver highly sustainable outcomes. A radical approach specifically aims to uncover root causes as opposed to surface explanations, viewing ecological problems as rooted in socio-political notions of nature, multispecies activity and needs, building and not building, activating and resisting as well as entangling.

The conference was organised by a team of academics, architects and designers including RAPS founders and partners including Sonja Oliveira, Jonathan Mosley, Torsten Schröder, Ana Betancour, Roberto Cavallo, Andjelka Bnin-Bninski, Joao Sequeiria, Elena Marco as well as colleagues Fidel Meraz, Sophia Banou, Davide Landi, Wendy Colvin, Eleonora Nicoletti, Yahya Lavaf-Pour and hosted by University of West of England and affiliated to ARENA Architectural Research European Network Association.
