MASS Lecture: Lina Bo Bardi by Tony Fretton

In the 2023-2024 academic year, the student group MASS, based at London Metropolitan University, held a series of talks around the theme 'Anti-Apathetic Architecture'.
The students asked the question "What if the architect was to move away from a position of apathy and instead diverge to practice fundamentally rooted in care; for the human, non-human and prosperity of our planet. What would an anti-apathetic architecture be like?"
In this episode, Tony Fretton reflects on the work of Italian born Brazilian Architect, Lina Bo Bardi

A favourite quote from Peter Flemming in his "Brazilian Adventure", published in 1933.
"São Paulo is much like Reading. It is not the newness of the place that surprises but the premature ageing."
