2A AchTalk: Interaction & Exchanging Theories and Practices of Architecture

The 2A Magazine, in its effort to remain at the edge of contemporary architecture and artistic debate and creation, organizes a combined series of events under the heading “Designing with Gaia in mind.” This initiative aims to raise awareness about the threat and the consequences our planet faces due to human activities forcing nature to adapt to our species’ ambitions. As of now, we have been facing a hardly blessed nature roaring against us the question raised is what Architecture can do to lead the establishment of a new playbook for the new condition that is unfolding around us. What can architecture do to encourage humans, its permanent and perpetual addressee, to rethink the substance and the role of human beings on the planet; not as the dominant creature assigned to design an artificial environment to live in, but as an inseparable extension of the nature hardly depended upon its forces, conditions, and dynamic flows. What can Architecture do to drive the human, a by-nature design animal,’ towards artificializes supported by new technologies and addressed to a new conception of living on earth, with nature, by nature, for nature, the mother, Gaia?
