Sick Architecture Talks is a conference program accompanying the opening of Sick Architecture, an exhibition curated by Beatriz Colomina, Silvia Franceschini, and Nikolaus Hirsch at CIVA. Moderated by e-flux Architecture Deputy Editor Nick Axel, Sick Architecture Talks will feature presentations by more than 20 architects, artists, writers, and scientists.

Architecture and sickness are tightly intertwined. Architectural discourse always weaves itself through theories of body and brain, constructing the architect as a kind of doctor and the client as patient. Architecture has been portrayed as both a form of prevention and cure for thousands of years. Health is supposed to be the main goal of the architect, as Vitruvius already insisted in the first century BC. Yet architecture is also often the cause of illness, from toxic building materials to sick building syndrome. Architecture itself has become sick.

Every age has its signature afflictions, and each affliction has its architecture. The age of bacterial diseases, particularly tuberculosis, gave birth to modern architecture in the early decades of the 20th century, to white buildings detached from the “humid ground where disease breeds,” as Le Corbusier put it. In the postwar years, attention shifted to psychological problems. The architect was often seen as a kind of shrink; the house not just a medical device for the prevention of disease, but for providing psychological comfort, or as Richard Neutra put it, “nervous health.” The 21st century is the age of neurological disorders, with depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorders, burnout syndrome, allergies, and “environmental hypersensitivity” defining the contemporary experience of architecture and the built environment.

Meanwhile, pandemics have returned. COVID-19 is completely reshaping architecture and urbanism. The virus has exposed the structural inequities of race, class, and gender, provoking a call for social transformation and perhaps an architectural revolution. The exhibition, together with the online publication series Sick Architecture, offers a wider historical and conceptual frame for such conversations.

Today on the Participatory Design Conference, organised by Hasselt university. My role here is to help out on the organisation, but it’s interesting to reflect on the releation with my research. The relevance of earth construction for social sustainability has been a topic that I reflected on before. Earth as a material often triggers differerent ways of participatory design. A close back and forth relation between architect, client, constructor, engineer is necessary when experimental design questions emerge. Also the ‘hands-on’ aspect of the material enables several people to build together, therefor becoming participatory building. When having people with the appropriate role and knowledge participating in this construction new designs might emerge on site. Such a close relationship between designing and building leads to innovative and specifically adapted solutions that could only emerge through this method. See for example the way that Jan De Vylder works.
