DESCRIPTION:Charlotte Malterre-Barthes\nAs an industry that relies on extr
 acted materials and an intense use of resources\, isn’t construction uns
 ustainable by design? The pressure is increasing for the sector to diligen
 tly address the harm caused by the built environment\, begging the questio
 n of whether real sustainability in architecture and planning is possible.
  As institutionalized and commodified greenwashing hollows out the term\, 
 how do architects and designers position their work beyond the inadequacy 
 of a flattening universalistic understanding of sustainability? What forms
  of practice allow for accountable and revolutionized construction modes? 
 How can we critically engage with technology as an ambivalent tool in the 
 service of green capitalism?\n\nThe first volume of a forthcoming series b
 y RIOT\, On Architecture and Greenwashing presents a cross-section of posi
 tions on architecture and its political economies and explores ways to cor
 rect course in the face of a climate crisis of unprecedented magnitude—b
 eyond greenwashing.\n\nRIOT—Research and Innovation On Territory—is a 
 laboratory engaged in pedagogy and research within the Institute of Archit
 ecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL)\, lead by archi
 tect and urban designer CHARLOTTE MALTERRE-BARTHES. Believing that the con
 struction sector and design disciplines must pivot and wholeheartedly enga
 ge in the current social and climatic urgencies by rewiring themselves to 
 face and repair the harm\, RIOT utilizes tactics and strategies to decarbo
 nize\, decolonize\, and depatriarchalize space production—by design.\n\n
