Episode 17: Re-Installing Architecture

Fireside Chats with Empathic Futures Lab

Are installations the key to unlocking the future of architecture? The small scale at which they operate allows them the flexibility to explore a wider range of ideas and potential solutions. If approached as part of a larger framework of research and exploration, rather than one-off creative outburts, perhaps they can be better used to push our understanding of our environment further, not just in terms of architecture, but in terms of all the disciplines. To not do this is almost a missed opportunity.

In this episode, our conversations covers those questions above as well as well as perhaps how to answer these questions: "What is the basic value that installation design can provide?",

"Does providing a value hierarchy in discipline much like installation design allow us to see more opportunities?", and other questions.
