Oslo Architecture Triennale Pamphlets

For the 2019 Oslo Architecture Triennale, Library Stack has compiled a series of essays that map a notional ‘right to loot’ across the urgency of climate crisis and the demand for degrowth. How or when does an unfolding catastrophe manifest a new moral right to dismantle, seize or inhabit the archival, technological, educational, or economic systems producing that crisis? The series finds Shannon Mattern speculating on deep storage archives and their horizon of futurity; Esther Choi on the falsehoods of architecture’s sustainability discourse; Edgardo Civallero and Sara Plaza on the role of libraries in shaping a public consciousness; Rory Rowan on the phantom biostratigraphy of consumer convenience; Sam Hardy on the antiquities black market and extra-legal economies; and Hannes Grassegger, along with an assortment of guests, on the emergent subjectivities and political formations of ecological disaster.
