‘To live in a different future, we have to imagine one first,’ said Beatrice Galilee, co-founder of architectural non-profit The World Around, as she opened the organisation’s second annual summit from the Guggenheim Museum in New York last Saturday. ‘We have to hear and we have to see and we have to listen to others,’ she continued. This simple, but far-reaching exhortation was very much what the day was about; listening, considering and exploring topics, such as environmental and racial justice, indigenous rights and public health through 20 architecture and design projects presented through animations, films, discussions and interviews.
