DESCRIPTION:Marisa Cortright\, (non-)Swiss Architects\nHow does the econo
 mic system underlying space production impact architectural practice? Conv
 ersely\, how does the practice of architecture impact the construction ind
 ustry and housing crises? This lecture series\, WORK—Architecture and La
 bor\, seeks to illuminate obscured and too often ignored economic question
 s to address work conditions and the division of labor and class in the pr
 ofession. How can the current architecture practice be reformed to operate
  on non-extractive principles? For instance\, will bridging the gap betwee
 n intellectual design workers in the office and the manual and executive l
 abor force on-site offer a way out? What is the causality between land and
  material value and the organization of the office? Why is the profession 
 so remote from labor struggles and poorly organized\, with so few unions\,
  badly negotiated labor contracts\, and barely any self-management models?
  Asking candidly ‘who can afford to be radical\,’ this lecture series 
 seeks answers from thinkers\, researchers\, and practitioners to address p
 ower structures and labor in architecture.\n\nMarisa Cortright with (non-)
