Organized by Jia Yi Gu, Harvey Mudd College \/ Spinagu. <\/p>\n
Presented by the Los Angeles Forum for Architecture and Design. <\/p>\n
Against the backdrop of an ongoing ecological emergency, the city is rebuilding itself—in the same way it has for the past century: buying into carbon-effusive material supply chains; advancing individual property development over alternative ownership models; hardening or controlling natural landscape; and incorporating toxic manufactured materials into housing without consideration of end of life. How do we repair the spaces we inherit, if we continue with the very architectural habits that led us to this disaster? Major Repairs<\/em> is a conference addressing reparative practices, bringing together historical and reflective perspectives on the architectural and spatial responses to wildfire. Speakers and participants will elaborate on the new systems, tools, practices, codes, and habits needed to survive the ecological consequences of 20th-century modernist and postmodernist experiments. From the documentary history of fire management to alternative development models, from bioregional material inventories to feminist ethics of care, Major Repairs <\/em>addresses the current rebuild efforts by centering non-extractive architectural perspectives and ideas. <\/p>\n
