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.

Nicolas Coeckelberghs / BC Architects

Belgian architect Nicolas Coeckelberghs strives for bioregional, low-tech, circular, beautiful and inclusive design. BC Architects work with both minds and hands, undertaking activities such as community organisation, material production, contracting, teaching and prototyping. They have designed buildings using rammed earth and earth blocks.

”Nicolas Coeckelberghs strives for bioregional, low-tech, circular, beautiful and inclusive design. I am especially interested to hear more about their buildings done in rammed earth and earth blocks”, says Jenni Reuter.
