Pedagogies of Un/Learning

Abstract

In times of multiple crises of social inequalities, the climate breakdown and political extremism, architecture acts as an accomplice in producing and reinforcing spatial injustice, material extraction, and social segregation. Architects, designers and educators are co-responsible for the world around us. The discipline of architecture, perhaps more than any other, affects how we live together. Architecture is thereby a mode of power and «Becoming an architect is learning how to practice this power» 〔1〕. Therefore, architecture schools are places where we are figuring out spatial issues in a complex and porous world. Many Architecture Schools recognized that a better living for all of us (human and non-human actors) goes hand in hand with rethinking issues of diaspora, migration, gender, race, class, ability and extraction and to decolonise and decarbonise their curricula to respond to complex and intersectional global challenges.
