In an uncertain world new ideas are needed. How do we make sure we recognise and hear them?
There have been numerous creative initiatives to amplify under-heard voices in architecture, but very little attention has been given to our ability to listen. And that creates echo chambers, free of voices that challenge our existing thinking.
The Listening Post project is gathering conversations between people with good ideas who might not normally get the chance to listen to each other, because their circles or views are so divergent. We’re bringing together professionals who listen in different contexts who might be able to help us listen better, even when it’s really hard.
