For this last episode of How to Be Good Ancestors we are changing tides. Together with artist and academic Janice Cheddie, our aim is to expand the conversation into territories of resistance to the systems unpacked in the previous episodes. What mechanisms exist to rid oneself of debt without going through the painful processes of unfair repayment? We will explore modes of resistance, focusing on the tools and the precedents which each of us and our guest value and rely on to imagine a common future. The conversation revolves around a series of artefacts including text, video, family heirlooms and memorabilia, reading into these objects' histories as a method for imagining their future. In doing so, we are positioned both as inheritors of these stories and as forebears for the next generations. How do we become good ancestors for the world to come?

This third episode of How to be Good Ancestors on Indonesia will zoom into the architectural scale to look at another form of debt: the act of disseminating building knowledge as a form of epistemic imposition. We will be revisiting Indonesian colonial history with architectural historian David Hutama Setiadi focusing on design pedagogy. Together we will unpack the ways in which systems of knowledge were imposed through new ways of building generated by capitalist ideology, revealing the complicity of drawing methods and classification systems in marginalising the Metis, an unstructured type of knowledge learned through embodied experience. We will also be discussing the possibilities of reversing the logics of the episteme. How to be Good Ancestors means rereading our past to disentangle future possibilities from systems of oppression. In this podcast series, hosts and AA students Ferial Massoud, Maria Putri and Aude Tollo retrace the common histories of three nominally decolonised states – Burkina Faso, Egypt and Indonesia – through the systems of debt servitude to which they were condemned in the wake of their independence, and which they remain subject to today. We ask: what are the spatial and material consequences of these systems and how can we begin to undo them?

This second episode of How to be Good Ancestors focuses on Burkina Faso, in a conversation with the multidisciplinary designer Richard Aina. We will travel to Lobi land in the South Western region of Burkina Faso. to look at how the artefacts produced there are held hostage by colonial power structures and modern infrastructures. Through this episode we attempt to generate a framework to shift dominant paradigms and generate a sensible architecture for the repatriation of those artefacts. How to be Good Ancestors means rereading our past to disentangle future possibilities from systems of oppression. In this podcast series, hosts and AA students Ferial Massoud, Maria Putri and Aude Tollo retrace the common histories of three nominally decolonised states – Burkina Faso, Egypt and Indonesia – through the systems of debt servitude to which they were condemned in the wake of their independence, and which they remain subject to today. We ask: what are the spatial and material consequences of these systems and how can we begin to undo them?

Welcome to the fourth episode of this series of A Line Traced, which focuses on Female Pioneers in the History of Virtual Reality. The series is hosted by Paula Strunden, a transdisciplinary VR artist with a background in architecture who taught on the AA's Media Studies programme. In this episode, Paula interviews Char Davies, best known for her groundbreaking virtual reality artwork Osmose, which combines immersive environments, with embodied interactions, and a profound connection to nature.This series of A Line Traced uncovers the untold stories of female pioneers in the early history of VR. Many of the prevailing narratives within this history focus on technological advancements, the development of devices and figures dubbed the 'grandfather', 'father' and 'godfather' of VR. Yet when we investigate the experiences created during the first peak of the VR industry in the 1990s, many of the most significant contributions were made by women. Artists and theorists like Char Davies, Brenda Laurel, Monika Fleischman and Thamiko Thiel, to name a few, transcended the boundaries of binary thinking in the realm of human-computer interaction, interweaving the actual and the virtual, and the body and the mind. By tracing the lines connecting these women, along with the contemporary voice of Krista Kim, this series aims to reshape our understanding of VR's past and reframe the ongoing debates around the role of VR in architecture and in contemporary society.Host Bio:Paula Strunden is a transdisciplinary VR artist with a background in architecture. She has studied in Vienna, Paris and London, and worked at Raumlabor in Berlin and Herzog and de Meuron in Basel. Paula is currently pursuing a PhD at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, as part of the project ‘Communities of Tacit Knowledge (TACK): Architecture and its Ways of Knowing', funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 860413.

Nasze miasta skrywają zielone oazy, które przyciągają mieszkańców szczególnie w czasach letnich upałów. Dla jednych wydają sie nieosiągalnym pragnieniem, dla drugich terenem realizacji marzeń o fantazyjnych altanach czy zaczarowanych ogrodach. Razem z Wojciechem Mazanem przyglądamy się terenom ogródków działkowych, nie bojąc się otworzyć bramę RODu. Rozmawiamy o ich historii, problematyce własności, zmianach na przestrzeni lat, przyszłość tych terenów, a przede wszystkim o nieformalnych strukturach, które powstają w tych ogrodach osobliwości. Dyskusję przeprowadziły Małgorzata Rybak i Dominika Jezierska. Wojciech Mazan - architekt, badacz, redaktor. Jego czułe obserwacje architektury prezentuje m.in. “Atlas Altan”.

We caught up with Tariq Khayyat, one of the leading architects in the region, and a long time guest favorite of our restaurant in d3. Khayyat is the founder of a bespoke architecture firm, TKDP, in Dubai and leads grand scale projects including Shenzhen Luohu in China. But before this, Tariq Khayyat spent 14 years working with the late Zaha Hadid and described what it was like meeting the iconoclast for the first time as an MA graduate in London's Architectural Association School of Architecture. Tariq also shares his design philosophies; what it actually means to qualify as a “sustainable” building; and the one advice he gives young graduates.
Eccentric, demanding and unapologetic, Dame Zaha Hadid was one of the most innovative architects in modern times, even though her designs and her temperament weren’t for everyone. Decades after moving to the UK from Iraq, she would finally find her place in this male-dominated industry, but she wouldn’t have long to enjoy it.

Stadium recrea, revisita y actualiza, un evento en que el Estadio Nacional de Chile fue por un día edificio y ciudad: el 29 de septiembre de 1979 llenaron sus graderías 40.000 familias (250.000 personas) de toda la ciudad de Santiago, no para un evento deportivo, cultural, ni religioso, sino para firmar los documentos que los transformarían de pobladores en propietarios. Días antes circuló un fascículo con la lista de convocados junto a una planta del Estadio, a la vez diagrama y proxy de la ciudad completa.Tanto la propuesta curatorial como el diseño del pabellón se origina a partir de ese dibujo especialmente preparado por el SERVIU para ese evento, en el que en lugar de graderías la geometría oval es redibuja por el trazado de veinte comunas de la ciudad, individualizadas en un centenar de barrios, villas y poblaciones que trasladan al observador desde ese centro en la comuna de Ñuñoa, a múltiples periferias distantes y distintas.[extracto memoria oficial proyecto]Alejandra Celedón es arquitecta graduada de la Universidad de Chile, Magíster en Estudios de Arquitectura Avanzada por The Bartlett, University College London y Doctora en Historia y Teoría de la Arquitectura por The Architectural Association School of Architecture. El equipo del pabellón está compuesto por Alejandra Celedón [Curadora], Stephannie Fell [Curadora de Contenidos], Tomás Villalón y Leonardo Quinteros [Diseño del Pabellón], Kathryn Gillmore [Propuesta gráfica] y Javier Correa [Propuesta Audiovisual]
