Rethinking Architecture: Non-Activism, Community Engagement, and Sustainable Practices

This text explores the intersection of art, architecture, and activism, emphasizing the role of architecture as a medium for social engagement rather than mere aesthetics. It references significant works and concepts from influential figures such as Malcolm Miles, Richard Buckminster Fuller, and Agnes Denes, as well as contemporary projects like the High Line in New York and eco-villages. The discussion questions the political nature of architecture while advocating for community participation and self-build initiatives. It encourages a re-imagination of societal structures through inclusive and sustainable architectural practices.
