MIT Architecture Lecture Series: Teddy Cruz & Fonna Forman
Apr 18, 2024
Estudio Teddy Cruz + Fonna Forman, Debord(er), 2014
About
This event is co-presented by MIT's Department of Architecture and MIT MAD.
For decades Teddy Cruz and Fonna Forman have argued that architects and urban designers can do more, must do more, than design buildings and physical systems. In their two new books Spatializing Justice and Socializing Architecture (MIT Press), they call for, and demonstrate, a new kind of architecture that confronts urban inequality, racialized violence and ecosocial catastrophe.
In their lecture, they will discuss their work on “citizenship culture” at the US-Mexico border, and share the network of civic spaces and social housing projects that they have co-developed with migrant communities to address the challenges of accelerating migration, and cultivate regional and global solidarities.
