• ‘We nee to think more expansively about the practice of architecture’
  As we navigate the complexities of the climate crisis, it’s essential to broaden our perspective and recognize the interconnectedness of our world. How can nations that have long struggled with the realities of climate change move from being living laboratories of disaster opportunism to living laboratories of climate optimism? Re:arc Institute, a non-profit organization working at the intersection of climate action and architecture philanthropy, is turning its attention to some of these pioneering areas in the coming years. To explore the insights we can gain from these regions, FRAME’s editor at large TRACEY INGRAM moderates a discussion between Re:arc’s director of public discourse, ALICE GRANDOIT-ŠUTKA, and representatives of two of the practices Re:arc is working with: ANA MARÍA GUTIÉRREZ of Organizmo in Colombia, and DORRAINE DUNCAN and JHORDAN CHANNER of Island City Lab in Jamaica.
