Conversations from Between the Lines
“Lived experience is presented as a vital form of architectural knowledge, long overdue really, given how often the most meaningful insights come from those who actually live, work, and grow within the spaces we design. These events explore how memory, identity, and care can reshape the way we think about cities, inviting a shift from top down authorship to a more collective, grounded, and quietly radical way of building.”
