Listen Later

In this episode of A is for Architecture, I spoke with Pablo Meninato, Associate Professor of Architecture at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University, Philadelphia, about Urban Labyrinths: Informal Settlements, Architecture, and Social Change in Latin America (Routledge 2024), co-authored with Gregory Marinic. 

Exploring the complexities of informal urbanism, Pablo discusses how self-built settlements shape cities, challenge conventional architectural narratives, and drive social transformation. From favelas to barriadas, we examine resilience, adaptation, and policy implications for equitable urban development. Tune in for insights on architecture, urban design, and Latin America’s evolving cityscapes.

Pablo is on  can be found on the Temple University website, on X, Instagram and LinkedIn. The book is linked above.
