S1Ep13 - Fernando L. Lara - On the different layers of colonialism. New platforms of learning/dissemination, and the 'New World' and the rise of Architecture as we know it.

Episode recorded Nov, 2020.

In this episode, I talk to Fernando Luiz Lara, who works on theorizing spaces of the Americas with emphasis on the dissemination of architecture and planning ideas beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries. In his several articles, Prof. Lara has discussed the modern and the contemporary architecture of our continent, its meaning, context, and social-economic insertion. In this episode, we talk about our education as Latin American architects in the cannon, how we decolonized it and got into decolonization perspectives for our work. We talked about the need for a new and different set of values on which to analyze architectural Latin American architecture, and not by comparing them to American or European standards. We commented on how teaching decoloniality is still in the margins of academia. We had an interesting conversation on Fernando's article American Mirror: the Occupation of the “New World” and the Rise of Architecture as We Know it. And we talked about the future of education, podcasts, youtube channels, electronic media, etc.
