01. Eyal Weizman
“This issue features a microinterview with Eyal Weizman, conducted by Alex Carp. Weizman is the director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Together with Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti, he’s one of the founding members of Decolonizing Architecture, an architectural studio/residency based in Bethlehem that uses architecture as a tool for expression and political activism within the conflicts of Israel and Palestine. His next book, Least of All Possible Evils, will be published by Verso in the fall. The bulk of his design work focuses on how architecture might address political problems; much of his writing focuses on how, in settings varying from war zones to occupations and familiar city centers, it has failed to do so. The Believer had a chance to speak with him during the Creative Time Summit at Cooper Union, where he presented some of his recent work.” (Believer).
