Marisa is the author of the Failed Architecture article “Death to the Calling: A Job in Architecture is Still Just a Job [https://failedarchitecture.com/death-to-the-calling-a-job-in-architecture-is-still-a-job/]” and, more recently,Can This Be? Surely This Cannot Be?

In this second part, Marisa and host Charlie Clemoes start by speaking about the Pritzker Prize and the problem of design solutions. They then go on to explore why it’s taken architects so long to organise and, the real burning question, are architects oppressed? The episode ends with a discussion of various organising efforts occurring across Europe and an assessment of the consciousness-raising function of the meme account Dank Lloyd Wright.

This episode is the first of a two part interview with Marisa Cortright, author of the Failed Architecture article “Death to the Calling: A Job in Architecture is Still Just a Job [https://failedarchitecture.com/death-to-the-calling-a-job-in-architecture-is-still-a-job/]” and, more recently, Can This Be? Surely This Cannot Be? [http://www.vipergallery.org/blog/post/marisa-cortright-can-be-surely-cannot-be-architectural-workers-organizing-europe], a book composed of three essays on the subject of architectural workers organising in Europe. In this first part, Marisa and host Charlie Clemoes speak about their shared position as non-architects working in architecture, then they go on to speak about the function of certain keywords in entrenching existing power dynamics in the architectural practice. But first, they start by talking about the book’s structure and the content of the book’s three essays and particularly its second essay, which explores the boundaries of Europe and its historic role in facilitating iniquities, both in the sector and the world at large.
