Last month, Professor Wolff sat down with C. G. Beck to discuss his recently released book The Labor of Architecture: Creativity, Design, and the Building of a New Class Consciousness. The two reflected on the new but growing labor movement within the architecture industry following the unionization of the first-private sector architecture office in the United States. They also questioned the role of technology in current work arrangements, and how unions could challenge encroaching Artificial Intelligence, among other issues.
With the election of Zohran Mamdani, the conversation has even more urgency, with an opportunity for unions in architecture and other industries to contribute to a potential boom in building in New York City. Will architects, and the city, meet the moment?
They'll continue the conversation at the People's Forum on Thursday, December 4th at 6pm, register here.
