 \, Basel\nA Conversation with Marc Angélil\, Isabel Grohe\, Kathlyn Kao a
 nd Charlotte Malterre-Barthes\n\nAs an industry that relies on extracted m
 aterials and an intense use of resources\, isn’t construction unsustaina
 ble by design? The pressure is increasing for the sector to diligently add
 ress the harm caused by the built environment\, begging the question of wh
 ether real sustainability in architecture and planning is possible. As ins
 titutionalized and commodified greenwashing hollows out the term\, how do 
 architects and designers position their work beyond the inadequacy of a fl
 attening universalistic understanding of sustainability? What forms of pra
 ctice allow for accountable and revolutionized construction modes? How can
  we critically engage with technology as an ambivalent tool in the service
  of green capitalism? The first volume of a forthcoming series by RIOT—R
 esearch and Innovation On Territory\, a laboratory within the Institute of
  Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL)\, On Arc
 hitecture and Greenwashing presents a cross-section of positions on archit
 ecture and its political economies and explores ways to correct course in 
 the face of a climate crisis of unprecedented magnitude—beyond greenwash
