SDC Lecture — Peggy Deamer: Reworking architectural work

About the event

This talk will examine the various institutions that currently shape architectural work in order to rethink and/or overturn them. Education, professionalization, economic ideology, office organization, media – these institutions will all be examined for their role in keeping architects disempowered and irrelevant and analyzed for their potential redirection.

Peggy Deamer is Professor Emerita of Yale University’s School of Architecture and principal of Deamer, Studio. She is the founding member of the Architecture Lobby, a group advocating for the value of architectural labor. She is the editor of Architecture and Capitalism: 1845 to the Present and The Architect as Worker: Immaterial Labor, the Creative Class, and the Politics of Design and the author of Architecture and Labor. Her theory work explores the relationship between subjectivity, design, and labor.
