Streamed live on The Bartlett School of Architecture's YouTube channel, this event will be a discussion between co-hosts Ewa Roztocka, Tengku Sharil and Julia Backhaus, and speakers Joshua Bolchover and John Lin.
Care is not quantitative, it has no defined format and it is difficult to measure. It implies values, cultural attitudes, personal experiences and a complex web of interdependencies.
The architects and researchers Joshua Bolchover and John Lin from Rural Urban Framework, a design collaborative based at the University of Hong Kong, will discuss their work on how a care-full approach to architecture can stretch from being a speculative and critical tool on human existence to becoming a remedy to our planet’s urgent condition.
Collaborating with NGO’s, students, charities and governments, they explore the processes of rural urbanisation through build projects, research, exhibitions and writing.
This event aims to frame the concept of care as a committed form of speculation that considers how architecture can sustain the world we inhabit and at the same time open it up to new models of practice.
