In the framework of the exhibition Chronograms of Architecture Jeremy Till will present the French edition of his book Architecture Depends in conversation with en Pierre Chabard and Pauline Lefebvre. He will introduce an overview of Architecture Depends working through ten key moments in the book. He will then expand the argument of the original book by addressing architecture’s greatest current dependency – that of responding to climate breakdown. Building on the work of his research collective MOULD and using the diagram currently exhibited at CIVA as part of the Chronograms exhibition, he will argue that the polycrisis that the world is facing demands a radical revision of the principles and operations of architectural production.
