Launching 12 October Production Studies: Work in Progress This autumn, join the TF/TK Project [www.tf-tk.com] in collaboration with Spatial Practices at Central Saint Martins as they convene prominent architects, designers, activists, thinkers and academics for a series of five ground-breaking talks drawing on the theory and ideas of Brazilian architect and theorist Sérgio Ferro. Sergio Ferro has conducted the single most sustained enquiry into design from the perspective of labour and the construction site available in any language, Production Studies: Work in Progress challenges the tendency of architectural theorists, historians, and designers to side-line the industrial, technical, and socio-economic contexts in which building is constituted—or to maintain that these are not the proper concerns of architecture. At a time when the distance is growing between architects and the sites of production for their design, enslavement and deaths at building sites make international headlines, and are accompanied by the increasing deskilling, precarization and forced migration of construction workers across the globe, we ask what critical tools and methods can we employ to do this work, and what alternative forms of practice we can identify to develop the possibility of 'The Emancipatory Building Site'. ⬆️ Register for these talks via link in bio.
