Fascinating talk hosted by @AAIarchitecture tonight.

Charlotte Malterre-Barthes calling for a global moratorium on new construction.

To paraphrase “what is being built is being built within economical logic by people that do not have the interests of the unhoused at heart.”

“Design offices need to deploy their organising abilities to think about not building, building less and building with what exists.”

“Questioning new construction as a solution to the housing crisis is the route out of a crisis of imagination.”
