Odile Decq Keynote: Architecture Thinking VI

“It’s only since the middle of the Twentieth Century that architects have been solely concerned with building,’’ says Decq. “We have to stop categorising and being too specific. The world needs people who are much more open-minded.” Odile Decq’s keynote – ‘Architecture Thinking’ – opens the 2019 SCCI Architecture Hub, exploring why the discipline of architecture must become less about buildings and more about embracing a complete universe whose boundaries continue to grow. “If, in 50 years’ time we are still human,” Decq continues, “then we will need architects, or the discipline of architecture: architecture thinking.”
