SEASON 3 EPISODE 3

Welcome to the 3d season of Woods in the Sound: ARCHITECTURE(S) OF CONNECTION and to this 3d episode: Designing for Relation. This season we are contemplating and reflecting on regenerative spatial practices. Can architecture(s) support multispecies conviviality and contribute to cultivation of ecological futures? How to think the project of human inhabitation in present times of ecological imperative? What can we learn from vernacular, contemporary and emerging knowledges of spatial practices, as well as multilingual situated dialogues? In this episode we are looking at the ways in which architectural and design practices are paying attention to the questions of inclusion or exclusion of multispecies communities from human spaces, questioning the anthropocentric constitution of architecture.

Conversation partners:

Andrea Palasti, Andrés Jaque, Ann Light, Cornelius Hackenbracht, Ferdinand Ludwig, Hagen Harwardt, Jakob Rauscher, Martín Ávila, Matthew Dalziel, Thijs de Zeeuw, Thomas Hauck, Tsukasa Ono.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 2

Welcome to the 3d season of Woods in the Sound: ARCHITECTURE(S) OF CONNECTION
and to this 2d episode: Connecting to a Place.

This season we are contemplating and reflecting on regenerative spatial practices. Can architecture(s) support multispecies conviviality and contribute to cultivation of ecological futures? How to think the project of human inhabitation in present times of ecological imperative? What can we learn from vernacular, contemporary and emerging knowledges of spatial practices, as well as multilingual situated dialogues?

In this episode we slowly move towards more grounded realities and situated contexts within planetary inhabitations, turning our gaze to potentialities for a renewed relationship with the place.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 1

Welcome to the 3d season of Woods in the Sound: ARCHITECTURE(S) OF CONNECTION and to this 1st episode: Architecturаl Imaginaries for Planetary Habitability

This season we are contemplating and reflecting on regenerative spatial practices. Can architecture(s) support multispecies conviviality and contribute to cultivation of ecological futures? How to think the project of human inhabitation in present times of ecological imperative? What can we learn from vernacular, contemporary and emerging knowledges of spatial practices, as well as multilingual situated dialogues?

In this episode we are contemplating a bigger picture, the wider territorial scales of thought and action, pondering on how a more respectful cohabitation can be real, and what critical perspectives may assist in framing the contemporary architectural practices that promote life, diversity and coexistence.

Conversation partners: Alan Organschi (Bauhaus Earth/GOA), Andrés Jaque (Office for Political Innovation/Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture), Ann Light (University of Sussex/Malmö University/CreaTures), Ferdinand Ludwig (Office for Living Architecture/Technischen Universität München), Gilles Clément (Planetary Garden), Kristine Samson (Roskilde University), Martín Ávila (Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design), and Matthew Dalziel (Atelier Dalziel/Matera).

SEASON 2 EPISODE 4

Welcome to the 2nd season of Woods in the Sound, dedicated to cultures of forests.

Forests invite us to reimagine and live into other ways of knowing and being, of conceiving of the self and community.

We are currently exploring the subject of forest gardens, otherwise known as food forests or regenerative agroforestry, as a framework some people find towards regeneration of monocultural landscapes, and healing of agricultural deserts, with an intention to grow food (and not only) in more meaningful ways while taking care of biodiversity, soil life, and other reciprocal relationships.

In this episode we are meeting Xavi Luján, one of the founders of the initiative l’Alter de Vorasenda in the north of Valencia - an association for regenerative farming and a space for seeding and cultivating communities.

This episode is in Spanish, so if you would like a translation we invite you to watch the video with subtitles in English.

In this episode we are walking around a forest garden in Eastern France: "Une Figue dans le Poirier" - a space that is bringing ethical gardening, arts and pedagogy together - and speaking with its co-conceiver, designer, sculptor and blacksmith Lilian Didier.
