Abstract

Radical architects figured a brilliant move: Architecture could be used to expose OUR problems, real and big issues in order to highlight and expand them so they became so HUGE as to necessarily see them… and eventually confront them. Their task was not to solve anything at all, they were architects… but their critical understanding of our discipline formulated some of the theoretical tools that we´re using now. As Hans Hollein stated “Everything is Architecture” and most likely (check Francisco Jarauta´s interview) we need that set of magnifying glasses to illustrate again (that´s our job, at the end of the day) the dark clouds right above us, being political most of them and that war, racism, social and economic inequality plus solving the pollution of our natural atmosphere aka global warming can (again) no longer be extended.
