In this episode, Living Dialogs host Edgard Cardenas is joined by Métis architect David Fortin and LASG founder Philip Beesley to explore the themes of ceremony, ritual, and relationality, and their connections to the evolving field of architecture. They discuss how these elements influence pedagogy and contribute to transforming architectural practices and relationships.
In this episode, Living Dialogs host Edgar Cardenas is joined by Carole Collet and Merlin Sheldrake as they engage in a wide-ranging conversation about living systems, what mycelium can teach us about designing for the future, and what this means for the future of architecture as a practice.
In this episode, Professor Dr. Manuel Kretzer and Architect and Urban Technologist, Areti Markopoulou join Living Dialogs host Edgar Cardenas in a thought-provoking conversation about buildings as organisms, reconceptualizing resource scarcity, and architecture’s impact on people and the environment. The dialog implicitly reflects a strong return to Indigenous and communal ways of understanding our relationship to Nature and the species around us, and asks us to think about what that might mean as we expand the definition of the word species and our ideas of life itself.
Can the buildings that we live in come alive? Could such living buildings help us to create a healthier, more sustainable future? Could they become adaptive, resilient structures that care for the planet while empathizing, comforting and inspiring us? The Living Dialogs podcast brings together scholars and thinkers to collectively reflect on living architecture and its implications for our changing world.
In each episode, guests and listeners are invited to reflect on prompts designed to encourage thoughtful, in-depth discussion. You are invited to contribute your own thoughts and questions, which may be taken up at a live webinar with the same guests a couple of weeks following each episode's release.
This extended format is born of our belief that knowledge creation is also a collaborative and living endeavour - that meaning is not simply created through the exchange of information but that ideas are formed through open and emergent conversations.
In this episode, four guests from diverse backgrounds and practices explore the connections between inclusivity and the philosophy and practice of Living Architecture.

Join Rachel Armstrong, Mette Ramsgaard Thomson, and Dehlia Hannah as they continue their discussion about the relationship between computation and biology, and the implications for Living Architecture as we conceive of a built environment that is more caring, inclusive, and sustainable.

Three prominent thinkers respond to the prompt, “Living architecture should prioritize biological resources over computational resources.” Listen in as they discuss the false dichotomy of computation vs biology, living technology and sustainability, and wonder about an ethics of Living Architecture.
