What to change
Architects may not be able to change society but we may be able to change architecture. And we may do so by learning from society.

Freedom?
To be confined to a tiny box of metal; to sit there inactive and immovable, is that freedom?
Henrik Valeur, 2019
Climate change
We are smart enough to understand how stupid we behave but we are not smart enough to do anything about it.
Henrik Valeur, 2015
The Berlin Wall – 25 years later
Did they become free like us – or did we become enslaved like them? @ Henrik Valeur, 2014
Kilamba
A modernist European vision of the city built by the Chinese in Africa!

Co-evolution
As we become more and more interconnected and interdependent, human development is no longer a matter of the evolution of individual groups of people but rather a matter of the co-evolution of all people.
Henrik Valeur, 2014
Development
In India, life expectancy has increased from 32 years in 1951 to 66 years today. In China, several hundred million people have escaped extreme poverty since 1981.
What did we, who had all the scientific and technological advantages, achieve?
Faster cars and bigger television screens?
