JORD. Hjemsted for mere end en fjerdedel af den biologiske mangfoldighed på jorden, planetens største vandfilter og et af de vigtigste naturlige systemer for kulstoflagring. Sund jord betyder sunde økosystemer og et godt grundlag for frugtbare fødevaresystemer. Regenerativt landbrug er blevet beskrevet som en landbrugsrevolution, der har løftet om en storslået vending af tendensen til jordudtømning og en væsentlig stigning i kulstofbinding. Flyt din opmærksomhed et par centimeter under dine fødder!   Paneldeltagere:  Anna Sofie Hvid,  Rural Agency  Nanna Thomsen, Andelsgaarde Søren Ejlersen, Stifter af blandt andet Fælleshaven & Aarstiderne Moderator: Marie Sainabou Jeng, Stifter og programdirektør af Madland

In this podcast, we are exploring two key texts related to the movement: ‘Another City for Another Life’ (1958) by Constant and ‘Formulary for a New Urbanism’ (1953) by Ivan Chtcheglov. Your guide through the texts is David Pinder, a professor in Urban Geography at RUC and author of the book "Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism" (2005). The podcast is a part of the documentation of a longer series of reading club events linked to our past exhibition, ‘Architecture and the Art of Agitation,’ which marked the culmination of a year-long exploration of the significance of manifestos, including two exhibitions, as well as an analogue and a digital publication.Follow the link below and listen to the conversation on your favourite platform.

In April 2023, the exhibition ‘Architecture and the Art of Agitation’ opened in the exhibition-space of Copenhagen Architecture Festival.

This podcast represents one of two recordings documenting these events, capturing a lecture on Le Corbusier's Towards an Architecture (1923) and Rem Koolhaas' Junkspace (2001). Kristoffer Weiss, philosopher, director of the Danish Architectural Press, and ex-partner in EFFEKT, was our guide, and you will hear his voice in the following recording.
