Architecture has long been a driving force for innovation and growth and has become the materialisation of global capital. The insatiable appetite of capital is forcing architecture into a regime of ‘never enough’. Around the world, the construction industry is exploiting natural resources and labour. At the same time, many people can no longer afford their homes, which have become investment products. How has construction become so destructive for people and nature, and what can architects do to counter this? The work of Indian-born architect Anupama Kundoo is exemplary of a different kind of architecture. Her work defies the logics of capital and the normative standards of the construction industry, as well as binary standards of beauty that demand architecture to be either innovative or traditional, either ecological or wasteful.
The exhibition, curated by Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny, makes Kundoo’s work tangible to the senses and is a call for a different architecture.
Wealth instead of capital. Anupama Kundoo
