“This special issue of ENQ (Enquiry), on-line open access journal published by Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC), affirms that notwithstanding the unfortunate conditions of precarity that define not only our individual but equally our professional lives, a young generation of scholars is hard at work understanding the many ways that we might better mitigate, critically evaluate, and address the potential harms that the built environment invites on those who work, live, and play within it. Might these articles inspire us all to continue to harness the tools and theories that help us create more just and sustainable worlds.”
Editorial by Graduate Group Chair Franca Trubiano introduces (10) peer reviewed papers published by ENQ in a special issue dedicated to PRECARITY, the Spring 2022 Conference sponsored by the PhD Program in Architecture at the Weitzman School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania. The international event hosted PhD students and keynote speakers who considered: What is the future of architectural research in a time of much uncertainty, when instability, insecurity, and risk plague the contemporary production of architecture?
