Shaping Our Future: Corporate Power and Architecture

Architect Keller Easterling discusses the role architects should take to shape a better world.

How do we shape our future, right now? Author and architect Keller Easterling discusses the role architects should take to shape a better world, and the invisible systems used by corporate power to exert control over populations.

Easterling talks about her latest book, Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space, and what how architecture can shape our futures – for the better or worse.

And later in the show, we speak to scientist Helen Caldicott about facing the nuclear threat. How much do you love your children, the planet, your own life? Caldicott says that nuclear – whether power or bombs – pose such a great threat to all of these, that we must stare it down and change.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $21,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
