Can the buildings that we live in come alive? Could such living buildings help us to create a healthier, more sustainable future? Could they become adaptive, resilient structures that care for the planet while empathizing, comforting and inspiring us? The Living Dialogs podcast brings together scholars and thinkers to collectively reflect on living architecture and its implications for our changing world.
In each episode, guests and listeners are invited to reflect on prompts designed to encourage thoughtful, in-depth discussion. You are invited to contribute your own thoughts and questions, which may be taken up at a live webinar with the same guests a couple of weeks following each episode’s release.
This extended format is born of our belief that knowledge creation is also a collaborative and living endeavor. That meaning is not simply created through the exchange of information but that ideas are formed through open and emergent conversations. These conversations are meant to push living architecture forward, in real time, through a collective grappling with ideas that can help articulate pathways to the future we wish to create.
