What does architecture do in a world in which we are nowhere and everywhere at the same time? How can architecture make us at home in a world marked by the continual movement of goods, people, and ideas? Certainly by moving beyond the stand-alone, monumental building. In this lecture, Aaron Betsky will survey how not just architects, but makers of various kinds are rethinking, reusing, and opening up our world.
