Architecture's "Political Compass": A Taxonomy of Emerging Architecture

The research project outlines a 21st-century taxonomy of architecture, attempting to define and categorize the various new forms of practice that have grown in popularity in the years since—and as a political response to—the economic crisis. “Global Architectural Political Events” are a series of public debates that continue the investigation about the political re-engagement of the discipline. Challenging the outlined categories, their relationships and their featured protagonists, the expected outcome of the series is a new iteration of the diagram. The discussions will take place across different cities and institutions, include AA, ETH and etc, around the world throughout 2017 with the participation of several of the offices featured in the map.
