“Tired Architecture// Uses of Utopia The work is an architectural exploration of home, housing and human settlements in times of exhaustion and burnout. We can no longer endure ‘cities on speed’, cities in constant ‘liveability’ competition or cities on laughing gas. The capitalist spectacle of the grand financialization of the housing market has gone haywire, and we are tired. Cities are tired. People are tired. The planet is tired. Architecture is tired.
We need hope. We need rest. We need care.”
Tired Architecture Conversations I and II were held in Det Lilla Rum, Copenhagen, June 2024 with suppoert form the Danish Arts Council and Dreyers Fond.
One day there will be a publication from these wonderful gatherings, exploring the meaning of tired architecture across artistc disciplines and formats.
Tired Architecture Circles gathered people in my home to share a space for tired people interested in exploring the tiredness as a collective and creative force.
Documentation to come.
