waarom?

“Architecture is infamously a precarious profession, especially under the false self-employment conditions we face in Belgium. We need to acknowledge it as “work” rather than romanticizing it as “passion", and understand the economic and institutional conditions we work in if we want to take action for a better profession. Architecture and Labor tackles these questions. Peggy Daemer, together with contributing essays, looks at the practice of architecture as labor rather than idealizing it as an abstract artistic or heroic practice, and asks "how can we come up with new organizations and new methods of production?”
