- Beyond Critical RegionalismGrey Zones and Radicality in Contemporary Practice
- Abstract
- In this text, BC Architects & Studies explores notions beyond ‘Critical Regionalism’. While the proclaimed notions in the essay such as climate, context and tectonics have value today, this is not because of their opposition against the forces of universalisation. On the contrary, these notions are important for the long-term wellbeing of humankind and of the shared planet. They should hence in BC Architects’ opinion be envisioned globally. From here, BC Architects argue that
architectural practice cannot only be considered as the resulting (characteristics of) infrastructure of a certain community, but rather as the design of the impact of achieving this infrastructure.
