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 in the emergent field of living architecture, to reflect together on its implications for our changing world.

Podcast S3E4: Emerging Voices: Living systems, ethical practice, and the future of architectural education
Episode 4
Thursday, 30 April, 2026

In this episode, recent Master of Architecture graduates Adrian Chiu, Iris Redinger, Abhishek Wagle, and Lena Mariella von Buren join Living Dialogs host Edgar Cardenas in a reflective conversation about architectural education, emerging design practices, and the evolving role of the architect. Drawing on their educational experiences and early professional life, the group discusses the pressures of architectural training, shifting ideas about what it means to be an architect, and the growing importance of ethics, ecological awareness, and care in design. The dialogue explores how new architects are thinking about architecture framed as a relational practice embedded within social, technological, and living systems, and what that means for their future and that of architectural education.
