Architecture and the Perception of the World | Victoria McKenzie | TEDxWageningenUniversity

Climate change was never just about Weather. We are living in an entangled world in which everything is connected and the Earth thrives off of living relationships. What if architecture were to design for the living relationships of the Earth, communities, history, our emboidment, and a different type of future grounded in the methods of the indigenous past? Academic-Activist, Research architect, writer and artist grounded in the act of reframing what it means to live as a communal society on and with Earth. She runs an architectural-research agency called ‘RRA’ Radical Research & Re-storying Agency which is informed by the question: “how can the pre-colonial past inform a decolonial future?”.

Victoria is currently based in The Netherlands where she teaches at various institutions such as the Sandberg Institute and Avans University on the connection between art, design and ecology to demonstrate the ways in which building, being and communing are continuously aligned. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
