Fireside Chats with Empathic Futures Lab
Arts:Design
In this episode, we have James Addison and Olivia Huang with us to discuss their joint MArch thesis from MIT.
There work can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ss4e9ap92ckefq3/Spaces%20of%20Justice.pdf?dl=0
Their thesis is entitled "Spaces of Justice" and aims to address the more political/social/economic fringes of architecture in that the aspirations of the work takes priority over the architectural details themselves. That being said, there was great thought put into the program included in their proposals as well as the spatial arrangement of these spaces. It is, despite the socio-cultural nature of the work, very much an architecture.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
-The motivations for this project
-What exactly did they do?
-How did they decide on their separate (though related) proposals?
-What did they learn about architecture and how to include research in the design process?
-How would you design "success" in such a political/academic work as this?
-What is next for them?
In the end, it is all about trying to put people (and our collective communities) first when thinking about socio-cultural problems. Architecture has a unique say in this because of how space influences people and we must be willing to be part of this conversation.
