The Political Economy of Space

The Political Economy of Space is a publication series by RIOT (Research and Innovation On Territory), a laboratory at the Institute of Architecture inside the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) led by architect Charlotte Malterre-Barthes. Believing that the construction sector and design disciplines must pivot and wholeheartedly engage in the current social and climatic urgencies by rewiring themselves to face and repair the harm, RIOT utilizes tactics and strategies to decarbonize, decolonize, and depatriarchalize space production—by design.
