Truth and Lies in Architecture
In this new podcast series, Richard Francis-Jones reads from his own essays, exploring the forces that have shaped architecture and the ideas that have led the profession to where it is today.
Climate change, inequality, cultural exclusion, and the profession’s failures towards First Nations people have exposed architecture’s deepest contradictions. But the crisis is not only external; it is embedded within the practice itself.
How did we get here? How has the true nature of architecture been so profoundly undermined?
Across the series, Richard traces the roots of this crisis, questioning what architecture has become, what it has lost, and what it might still become.
