How can we drive a progressive transformation of architectural culture to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future? This panel discussion brings together curators and emerging architects from the UK and across Europe to share their perspectives on evolving professional landscapes and alternative models of practice that challenge the status quo.
The conversation will explore diverse strategies employed by these innovative practices, including Edit Collective (UK), a feminist architecture collective dedicated to design and research projects that challenge societal norms; collcoll.cc (CZ), a collaborative collective emphasizing cross-sectional collaborations and fostering innovative architectural solutions through collective engagement; and LLRRLLRR (Estonia/UK), an experimental practice integrating sustainability and circularity into architectural design. Additionally, the discussion will feature insights from a UK-based curator and writer known for her perspectives on architecture and design, Vicky Richardson.
Chaired by Helena Huber-Doudova, a curator at the National Gallery Prague and editor of "Architecture for a Non-Precarious Future: Notes on Practice," which builds upon the Czech presentation at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia—"The Office for a Non-Precarious Future," created by Eliška H. Pomyjová, D. Neuhäusl, and Jan Netušil.
Panelists: Sophie Williams (Edit, UK), Vicky Richardson (curator, UK), Krištof Hanzlík (collcoll.cc, CZ), Roland Reemaa / Laura Linsi (LLRRLLRR, UK/EST). Chair - Helena Huber-Doudová (curator, National Gallery Prague, CZ)
