Architecture In Flux

The City is Always Being Made.
Who is the City for?
Who is the Future For and Why?
How Can We Change It?

Provocation: Climate change and Inequality are baked into the ways we make cities. If this is to change the next generation of creative practitioners will need to find a new way of doing things altogether.

How Can Architecture Activiate A State Of Change?

FLUX:LABS Challenge 70 emerging architects to discover new modes of creative practice that better engage people in the transformation of their city. Through in-person open, inscriptive, temporal investigations across 7 Labs in Manchester and Germany a situated practice and agency for emerges. Collectively an archipelago of practices activate a state of change for the city.

Practices that start from not knowing are improvisational, raw, messy, provisional and on the go. They shift city making from city hall and from the developer/designer’s desk to the public realm. This is Architecture that is always in the making, Architecture in FLUX.
