What if we are entrapped in an urban bias? What can we do to see things more nuanced? And what would happen if we stopped reducing the rural to a backdrop for urban ambitions and recognized it as a space of life and living
In this episode of 10 Dogmas, we challenge the conventional lens of architectural thought and explore how reimagining the rural could reshape our approach to design, ecology, and community.
Rural Agency, a pioneering research-based studio, leads this conversation. Founders Anna Sofie Hvid (MA Research Architecture, BA Philosophy) and Josephine Nørtoft Saaby (Architect MAA) share their inspiring work in bridging architecture and ecology, pushing for a deeper integration of rural spaces into architectural discourse.
Tune in as they discuss:
- Breaking free from the urban/rural dichotomy.
- Fresh approaches to observing, planning, and valuing rural spaces.
- The ecological and political potential of re-centering the rural in architectural thinking.
This episode is part of 10 Dogmas, a podcast series by Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx), produced in collaboration with VELUX's Build for Life initiative. Each installment highlights emerging architectural studios questioning the norms and shaping the future of the built environment.
