Architecture continues to create and propagate commonplace images of the traditional family: in the West, for instance, it might be the single-family home, a venerable relic of the static twentieth-century idea of the “nuclear family.” However, such powerful myths of family are shifting beneath our feet.
Welcome to What, if not the family?, a program in the form of a television news show that probes ways architecture might equip itself to address the following questions: What have been key moments of change in conceptions of the family, as expressed in architecture, and how can architecture accommodate kinship beyond the traditional family?
Special guests include Miranda July, Other Architects, Something Fantastic, Edit Collective, Marisa Morán Jahn and Rafi Segal, Nahira Gerster-Sim, Frida Escobedo, Kumiko Inui, Emanuel Admassu, and 5468796 Architecture.
