This MA episode explores themes of audacity, authorship and validation when it comes to engaging in critique and contributing into the the knowledge pool of spatial and architectural literature and content. More specifically, the episode focuses on critique referencing 1960s feminist planner Denis Scott Brown’s writing on Having Words. Echoing Scott-Brown’s identification of the problematics in not just the content of planning and architecture but also and more importantly planning and architectural approaches.
In an undeniably tightening global community and increasing boom in ICT technology, how do we evolve our thinking of access to information such that we don’t hold onto traditional norms of only professional critics but uphold the value of critical voice in and amongst the overproduction of content?
This episode is narrated by the thoughts of MA researcher, Khensani de Klerk and was originally published on October 22nd 2017.
