Chris Younès: Rethinking Architecture - Space, architects, ethics and ecology.

In the newest episode of A is for Architecture, Professor Chris Younès – philosopher, professor emerita at the National School of Architecture of Paris-La Villette and the École Spéciale d'Architecture, a Silver Medalist of the Academy of Architecture in 2005 and Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur in 2014 - discusses the 2024 edition of her book, Architectures of Existence: Ethics, Aesthetics, Politics (Routledge), translated by Cozette Griffin. Building around the notion of [an] ecosophy, Chris explores how the spaces we inhabit shape our identities, experiences, and relationships with both human and non-human worlds. In an era of intersecting crises and social fragmentation, driven by the systems we’ve built to sustain our way of life—can architecture help us reimagine how we live together? Genuinely, Chris is amazing to listen to, so please do.  Chris can be found professionally here. The book is linked above.🎧 Listen now (or quite soon) on only the greatest podcast platforms for more discussions on architecture, philosophy and ethics!📢 #Architecture #Philosophy #Ecosophy #Urbanism #Ethics #Sustainability #ChrisYounes #ArchitecturesOfExistence+ Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick
