In this episode, we are having a discussion with SSoA lecturer dr. Luis Hernán about consumerism and its impact on architectural reality.

The built environment has been drastically changing within the political consumerism agenda; entire cities are constructed on this principle, echoing the reorientation of architectural design towards a more commercialized concept. 

Press play to listen as we dig into the deeper roots of this phenomenon, the manner architecture is affected and the implications on the architect's and design's role!

 

Dr. Luis Hernán is a researcher and designer based at Sheffield School of Architecture, interested in the philosophical perception of architecture. He is also a lecturer at the SSoA, and enjoys literature and writing.
