The article explores how music has reflected societal change through various decades, notably through artists like Bob Dylan, David Bowie, and Tupac Shakur. It transitions to the construction industry, emphasizing that architecture must respond to current urgent crises, such as climate change, social inequality, and fragmentation of identities. The text argues for a shift from self-centric architectural practices to a more inclusive approach, advocating for listening to local contexts and fostering sustainable, equitable future-building practices.
The planet is warming, inequalities persist and deepen, data multiplies, and identities fracture. In this context, architecture can no longer afford to limit itself to formal experimentation.
Breaking away from self-referential narratives is no longer optional. The path forward lies in listening... cultivating practices that lead toward more just, resilient, and livable futures.
