In the era of artificial intelligence, it is particularly important to consider the architect’s role and societal responsibility. Activism in architecture, whether through social housing, inclusivity issues, biodiversity, new building materials, circular economy, or architectural representation, is a means to act within the profession.

In the tenth season of the Architecture Speaks lecture series, organized jointly by Aalto University and the Museum of Finnish Architecture, Associate Professor and Head of department of Architecture Jenni Reuter invites six architects or architectural groups to share insights into their design processes and their roles in the world of architecture.

Nyasha Harper-Michon / Archtivism

Architect and activist Nyasha Harper-Michon’s mission is to change the discussion within the profession. Her firm Archtivism emphasizes social equity, inclusion, environmental and ecological strategies, circular economy and redesigning the architecture profession and wider building sector.
