The seventh session of LOUDREADERS welcomes Léopold Lambert as he reads from Samia Henni's Architecture of the Counterrevolution, Ariella Azoulay's Potential History, and Nick Estes' Our History is the Future.
Léopold Lambert is the editor-in-chief of The Funambulist. He is a trained architect, as well as the author of three books that examine the inherent violence of architecture on bodies, and its political instrumentalization at various scales and in various geographical contexts. He is the author of Weaponized Architecture: The Impossibility of Innocence (dpr-barcelona, 2012), Topie Impitoyable: The Corporeal Politics of the Cloth, the Wall, and the Street (punctum, 2016) and La politique du Bulldozer: La ruine palestinienne comme projet israélien (B2, 2016). His forthcoming book (2020) is tentatively called States of Emergency: A Spatial History of the French Colonial Continuum.
Sat 16 May | 12:00pm EST | online
The discussion takes place via zoom meeting and will be livestreamed on Facebook live.

About the LOUDREADERS Conversation Series
Making the most out of staying safe at home during quarantine, Nathalie Frankowski and Cruz García of WAI Architecture Think Tank created a series of weekly online sessions that each feature a different LOUDREADER. Each LOUDREADER will select a book or a series of books as background to discuss urgent positions on the state of architecture, urbanism, art, and culture with a live-audience through a Zoom-meeting format. Produced in collaboration with inter·punct, these events will be a great opportunity for students and faculty to interact with practitioners, architects, designers, thinkers, authors, and artists from around the globe.
