Parity Talks: WHATS GOOD? 

10-Mar-2021

ETH Zürich, Switzerland

parity; Gender; Architecture Education

It’s been 6 years since the first Parity Talks at the ETHZ implored us to begin a discussion around gender and diversity in architecture and planning. This year we will join forces with four other institutions to reflect on how the situation has evolved for planning disciplines. A day-​long event on the 10th March hosted by the Parity Group at the ETHZ will be a collective questioning of ‘What’s Good?’.  Curriculum changes are the order of the day in many architecture schools. Who is included in the change making process and  gets a say in what comes and what stays? Do these changes go far enough to sustain equity, decolonize, and depatriarchize our age-​old canonical syllabi? While some teaching formats are quick to change, some seem impossible to dispel. How can institutional activism help and steer consistent and meaningful change in architecture education and beyond? Online black activist Rachel Cargle speaks about the "Great Unlearn." Can we teach to unlearn? We will discuss the possibilities of radical changes in content and form within design institutions, (un)learning and listening to one another.
