Beyond Standardization with Superposition

The battle for the future of the building sector is often framed as a conflict over standards: between those who defend existing standards and those who demand new, green, and sustainable ones. But what if we challenged this premise? What if the logic of standardization is actually at the root of the problem? This is the starting point for the second episode of our new podcast series. Tune in to hear Elspeth Lee and Donn Holohan from the studio Superposition delve into the challenges of standardization and explore potential solutions beyond conventional standards. This podcast episode covers: The value of pre-standardized architecture The myth of the connection between democratization and standardization The barriers to flexibility, spontaneity, and creativity imposed by standardization This is the second episode of "10 Dogmas," a 10-part podcast series designed to push the boundaries of architectural thinking. In this series, we invite ten leading architectural studios to critically examine and challenge ten core dogmas that currently dominate architectural practice and consensus. 10 Dogmas is produced by CAFx and presented in collaboration with VELUX and their Build for Life initiative, which reconnects people and the planet through healthier, more sustainable buildings.
