Mexican architect Fernanda Canales has dedicated her career to reflecting on space not only as an aesthetic or functional question, but also as a political and social act. Considered one of the most lucid voices in contemporary architecture, her work is situated at the intersection between creation, research and activism. Her book The Open Classroom and her urban projects question the ways in which we inhabit and the structures that condition our cities.
In this conversation with David Goodman, Dean of IE School of Architecture and Design, they will explore the role of architecture as a tool for transforming social dynamics, rethinking public space and giving citizens back the right to imagine their environment. From the everyday to the monumental, the dialogue will focus on how to design not just buildings, but possibilities.
