Radical Architecture

Radical Architecture refers to innovative and often unconventional design approaches that challenge traditional architectural norms and social structures. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, it emphasizes social change, political activism, and user participation in the design process. Architects advocating for this movement often seek to address issues like inequality, urban decay, and the environment by creating spaces that inspire community engagement and reflect diverse needs. Radical Architecture promotes the idea that buildings should not just be functional but also foster social relationships and improve the quality of life for their users.
