2nd Fall Symposium 2022 Building Beyond Borders - Reflecting on the agency of architecture for regenerative and distributive solutions in the Global North and the Global South. (R-13032)

As a response to the extractive and exploitative character of the building sector, many universities and architectural practices in the Global North and the Global South have started to investigate other ways of designing and building that create a positive impact on both social and ecological level by searching for regenerative and distributive solutions. The Fall Symposium Building Beyond Borders is designed as a biennial event that reflects additionally on the postgraduate cycle. Initiated by the Building Beyond Borders team, the Fall Symposium sets up a broad conversation and reflection on the topic and live project of the most recent edition of the postgraduate, with the aim of establishing an international network of thinkers and doers that will lay a foundation for more regenerative and redistributive solution in the construction sector, both in the Global North and the Global South.
