Description

Charlotte Malterre-Barthes examines the inherent conflict between the human right to housing and the extractive, destructive nature of the global construction industry. By proposing a moratorium on new building projects, the text challenges the growth-oriented imperative of contemporary architecture and advocates for a radical shift toward the adaptive reuse and redistribution of existing structural stock.
