INFO:
Building waste and building labor are routinely devalued, externalized, and rendered invisible through the commodifying, extractive forces of the construction industry.
This public colloquium troubles architecture’s thresholds of disposability and asks how workers, building “leftovers,” and collective construction may be recentered in architectural practices.
The Colloquium is a sister event of the D.E.P.O.T. / Gross Domestic Practices exhibition (Fall 2023) and the WASTE/WORKS Advanced Studio (Spring 2024).
