Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Joseph Altshuler & Julia Sedlock

As both a discipline and a cultural practice, architecture’s expertise lies in its capacity to communicate new ideas through various media. We wield this expertise not simply to build buildings, but to build portals that connect reality as we know it to new realities conjured by our imaginations. We occupy this translation by straddling the line that separates what is from what might be through drawing, writing, and constructing at multiple scales. For this reason, our responsibility to engage with the real and serious issues in the world (social, economic or environmental) manifests less convincingly as policies or calculations and more potently as provocations that help us see a different future.
