For Between Us, the second season of the Architectures of Planetary Well-Being podcast, we partnered with KoozArch, a research-driven studio and digital magazine exploring architecture and design beyond their built forms. The phrase “between us” implies a secret, something kept safe, reserved just for those present. The concepts explored in Between Us are, alternatively, meant to be shared, but they’re indeed explored in intimate dialogues between practitioners who might not have known each other previously and then found commonality—and even collaboration—through these conversations.
In exchanges guided by Federica Zambeletti and Shumi Bose (KoozArch's founder and chief editor, respectively), fourteen cultural practitioners, meeting each other across generational and geographical distances, discussed architecture, storytelling, language, material, science fiction, landscapes, tenderness, and memory. A common thread emerged: the need for collaboration, friendship, accessibility, and imagination in the reimagining of a more just world. In working toward a state of planetary well-being, we must cross boundaries between artistic mediums and territorial borders alike—and reach for each other.

Researcher and architect Setareh Noorani and artist and architect Emanuel Admassu discuss the transformative power of friendship, collaboration, and, as Setareh says, being “in touch with each other.” Together, they explore how that same sense of horizontality might shape the concept of reparations—all the while considering the importance of accountability, of reframing the hegemonic hierarchies that still govern so much of our world, and of caring for ourselves and each other while working toward collective liberation.
