Abstract
Architecture has played a very important role in colonization of the society and the earth, and today we have the urgent task to crack the theory and practice of this same Architecture. We can achieve this only by working collectively towards reframing concepts that has been at the centre of a dominant universalist western knowledge creation.
Rethinking and reframing the ideals of community, participation, commons, agency, design, and land, this book puts forward a collective effort to shift the centre of architectural thinking and practice, and create as many ways possible to understand our role as architects today. We acknowledge unrecognized practices by bringing back everyday-life experiences, different paths and forms of knowledge production and storytelling that inform our understanding of architecture.
The book is part of a series of six volumes that explore the agency of the built environment in relation to the SDGs through new research conducted by leading researchers. The series is led by editors Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen and Martin Tamke in collaboration with the theme editors:
- Design for Climate Adaptation: Billie Faircloth and Maibritt Pedersen Zari
- Design for Rethinking Resources: Carlo Ratti and Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen (Eds.)
- Design for Resilient Communities: Anna Rubbo and Juan Du (Eds.)
- Design for Health: Arif Hasan and Christian Benimana (Eds.)
- Design for Inclusivity: Magda Mostafa and Ruth Baumeister (Eds.)
- Design for Partnerships for Change: Sandi Hilal and Merve Bedir (Eds.)
