 ook Launch at Domushaus EG\n\nThursday\, 13 November\, 18:0 at\nDomushaus\
 , Pflugleingässlein 3\, Basel\nA Conversation with (non-) Swiss Architect
 s\, Kathlyn Kao and Charlotte Malterre-Barthes\n\nFrom the office to the c
 onstruction site - what is the value of work?\nWhy is architecture so remo
 te from labor struggles\, with poorly negotiated labor contracts and barel
 y any self-management models? What possibilities emerge when we acknowledg
 e the glaring class divide between the architectural firm and the construc
 tion site? What insights do the stories of workers provide about the const
 ruction industry? How do different design practices emerge if designers an
 d construction workers unite? \n\nOn Architecture and Work is a collecti
 on of essays on the relationship between construction\, architecture\, wor
 k\, and labor. From complaints over grueling working conditions on constru
 ction sites to demands for better benefits in design offices\, asking cand
 idly "who can afford to be radical?"\, this is the third publication in th
 e series The Political Economy of Space\, after On Architecture and the 
 Greenfield (2024) and On Architecture and Greenwashing (2024).\n\nEdited
  by Charlotte Malterre-Barthes\, head of the RIOT laboratory at the Swiss 
 Federal Institute of Technology—EPFL in Lausanne\, this volume updates t
 he discussion on architecture and work by giving answers from construction
  workers\, scholars\, and design practitioners.\n\nTexts by: Marisa Cortri

 s’ voices (collected by Lalie Porteret and Carolina Pichler)\, Usina-CTA
