Abstract

"Sessions on Territory" are public debates on the political economy of architecture and territory within and beyond the neoliberal order.

Objective

"SESSIONS ON TERRITORY - Urbanism in a Broken World: REPAIR" is a series of public debates on the political economy of architecture and territory. Focusing on politics and practices of repair that aim to reduce exploitation, care for what already exists, repair what has been damaged, and conserve resources, the upcoming series will untangle how such alternatives in design education and practice have the potential to counter the condition of manifold crises. Every intervention by a guest speaker is followed by a discussion with invited respondents. The sessions are part of The Great Repair project, a collaboration between ARCH+, ETH Zurich and Uni Luxembourg.
