Radically Inclusive Studio
Radically Inclusive Studio Pandemic and post pandemic
"The Radically Inclusive Studio / Die Radikaal Inklusiewe Studio / I-Studio Ebandakanywa Ngokuvamile is an open access conversation on practices in architectural design education to extend the exchange of ideas and collaborations towards inclusivity. As a team of design instructors based throughout the globe, [they] harness the fluidity of ideas and exchanges within an online curriculum and propose an initial list of inclusive practices called the 6S Conceptual Framework of Inclusive Contexts.
Beginning as a shared vision for a radically inclusive design studio, this work in progress (WIP) discussion will continue to evolve. [Their] respective experiences in the Global North (USA) and Global South (South Africa and Australia) brings diverse contexts, not only geographically, but economically, culturally, and socially. Through [their] shared feminist position, the profession of architecture, and studio-education persuasion, [they] discovered synergies, straddled continents, and exchanged experiences. [They] formulated a shared vision for equality, equity, fairness, and relevance, and the wish to create an architectural studio that is radically inclusive, relevant, and responsive.
[They] welcome input and reflections from researchers, faculty, students, administrators, or anyone else interested in architecture education. [They] use the online conversations, and their authors, to facilitate a series of online discussions that bring together a diverse panel of participants from the Global North and South."
