2nd International Seminar on Architecture and Ethnography

The International Architecture and Ethnography Seminar is a space for intersection and encounter for those of us who study space and meaning. At the crossroads of architecture, anthropology, geography, urbanism, and sociology, we gather around the fire to consider new ways of approaching territorial phenomena. What are the relationships between ethnography and architecture? What are the scopes and challenges of new technologies and spatial research methods? In what ways can different disciplines meet when faced with the same object of study? What is the role of the senses in the epistemology of the socio-spatial? This is the terrain we occupy.

With the increasing availability of space travel on the rise, living with access to the Moon may no longer be a science fiction fantasy. For decades, Equitone has gathered inspiration for the future by the appearance and raw materials of Earth. Now, reflecting the fascination with what lies beyond our own atmosphere, its new Lunara façade panels appear both otherworldly and yet natural at the same time. Its unique surface, covered with tiny irregular elevations and depressions, is reminiscent of the cratered landscape of the Moon and invites architects and planners to design visionary building envelopes.

Call for Submissions ARQ 110: Decolonize

Following the damning report published by the IPCC in mid-2021, the message is clear: there is no longer a way to reverse climate change. The notion that humanity would manage to get away with it—depleting and overexploiting the Earth without suffering the consequences—has proven to be mistaken. The model of development and growth that has governed us for at least two centuries must be rethought from its roots if we are to continue our life on this planet. Therefore, in 2022, we have no choice but to question our actions to date. With the goal of pushing thought toward undoing what we have been doing wrong, the three issues of ARQ magazine next year will be dedicated to different ways of rethinking our relationship with the environment: "Decolonize" (ARQ 110), "Degrow" (ARQ 111), and "Deconstruct" (ARQ 112).
