In the 2023-2024 academic year, the student group MASS, based at London Metropolitan University, held a series of talks around the theme ‘Anti-Apathetic Architecture’.
The students asked the question “What if the architect was to move away from a position of apathy and instead diverge to practice fundamentally rooted in care; for the human, non-human and prosperity of our planet. What would an anti-apathetic architecture be like?”
In this episode, Charlie Edmonds the co-founder of Future Architects Front (FAF) and member of Civic Square, talks about the ‘End of Architecture’. He covers themes from the architect as a worker, unionising, the climate crisis, architectures relationship to capitalism and the work he has undertaken with FAF.
