Inhabiting Future Frictions is a book about the pedagogical experience of the course (taught in english) Architecture, Society and Territory B of the Master’s Degree Architecture for Sustainability (MASt) at the Politecnico di Torino. Since 2021, this urban, territorial and landscape-scale design workshop has tried to promote critical thinking on the Anthropocene from a spatial and design perspective. In particular, the almost 200 students, who in groups carried out research projects touching on the intersections between extractivism (of social relations, as well as of environmental resources), colonialism and complex human/non-human ecologies, have tried to answer a central question, namely: is there an architecture that is not extractive, racist and universalist?
Inhabiting Future Frictions è un libro che racconta l’esperienza pedagogica vissuta al corso (in inglese) Architecture, Society and Territory B della Laurea Magistrale Architecture for Sustainability (MASt) del Politecnico di Torino. Dal 2021, questo laboratorio di progettazione a scala urbana, territoriale e di paesaggio ha provato a ragionare criticamente sull’Antropocene attraverso una prospettiva spaziale e di progetto. In particolare, i quasi 200 studenti, che a gruppi hanno svolto progetti di ricerca che toccano le convergenze di estrattivismo (dei rapporti sociali, oltreché delle risorse ambientali), colonialismo ed ecologie complesse fra umano/non-umano, hanno cercato di rispondere ad una domanda centrale, ovvero: esiste un’architettura che non sia estrattiva, razzista e universalista?

Abstract
Inhabiting Future Frictions is a book about the pedagogical experience of the course (taught in english) Architecture, Society and Territory B of the Master’s Degree Architecture for Sustainability (MASt) at the Politecnico di Torino. Since 2021, this urban, territorial and landscape-scale design workshop has tried to promote critical thinking on the Anthropocene from a spatial and design perspective. In particular, the almost 200 students, who in groups carried out research projects touching on the intersections between extractivism (of social relations, as well as of environmental resources), colonialism and complex human/non-human ecologies, have tried to answer a central question, namely: is there an architecture that is not extractive, racist and universalist?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
