DESCRIPTION:Pedro Fiori Arantes \nHow does the economic system underlying
  space production impact architectural practice? Conversely\, how does the
  practice of architecture impact the construction industry and housing cri
 ses? This lecture series\, WORK—Architecture and Labor\, seeks to illumi
 nate obscured and too often ignored economic questions to address work con
 ditions and the division of labor and class in the profession. How can the
  current architecture practice be reformed to operate on non-extractive pr
 inciples? For instance\, will bridging the gap between intellectual design
  workers in the office and the manual and executive labor force on-site of
 fer a way out? What is the causality between land and material value and t
 he organization of the office? Why is the profession so remote from labor 
 struggles and poorly organized\, with so few unions\, badly negotiated lab
 or contracts\, and barely any self-management models? Asking candidly ‘w
 ho can afford to be radical\,’ this lecture series seeks answers from th
 inkers\, researchers\, and practitioners to address power structures and l
 abor in architecture.\n\nPedro Fiori Arantes\, Tuesday 16 April\, 17:00- 1
