Architecture is Activism
Previously in the beginning of the anthropocene, an architect’s role was
mainly aesthetic, distant and abstract. In our current time of crisis, architects
cannot afford to sit on the sidelines any longer. We cannot afford to consort with
fascists, billionaires and corporations. We cannot collaborate with greenwashing.
Now is the time of the Activist-Architect. Take a stand, or be complicit in the
destruction of Earth.
This booklet offers insight into the different ways an architect can be an
activist for different issues. It provides inspiration for what architecture can look
like, not only in the future, but now. Thank you for reading.
