In this essay, Infraestudio co-founders Anadis González and Fernando Martirena explore the relationships that architecture performs within institutional systems. The duo takes us along in how they navigate between politics and theatre in their proposals, which are constantly faced with local challenges caused by the political environment.
Infraestudio is the recipient of the Tilting Axis/Het Nieuwe Instituut Research Fellowship 2021/2022, which is organised in collaboration with Stedelijk Studies. This text outlines Infraestudio’s fellowship research, which delves into whether architecture practices can mobilise social solidarity beyond their functional space-making role. How can architects influence future political horizons beyond the long-established frameworks they operate within?
