“What kind of work do we-as creators, as designers, as architects-want to put out into the world?” asked Joseph Grima during his In Focus: Radical Repair presentation.
His question preceded an explanation of a new platform that he and his Milan-based office Space Caviar has created in collaboration with Practice Lab and Re:Arc Foundation. Their aim is to facilitate access to a network of practitioners who can all contribute their knowledge, have discussions, teach one another, and ultimately address what is needed from an architect today to help improve the world.
An architect, curator and writer, Grima also spoke about his ongoing research into Non-Extractive Architecture, which similarly positions architects as agents of transformation.
“Until relatively recently… extraction was something that was deeply manually dependent. There was absolutely no illusion of abundance, or of unlimited access to resources,” he said, before describing the very different way in which construction materials are currently considered, and the impact that has on how the roles of architects are perceived.
“Designers and architects today tend to be seen as the ones who apply an aesthetic veneer to the outside. But maybe [they should] jump back into some of the more complex and nuanced issues that surround the built environment, including questions around integration, circularity, durability, adaptation and so on.”
