A Moratorium on New Construction by Charlotte Malterre-Barthes: On Architecture Beyond Building
In A Moratorium on New Construction (Sternberg Press, 2025), Charlotte Malterre-Barthes urges architects to face their role in ecological and social crises. Through nine action-driven chapters, the book calls for redefining value, resisting extractivism, and adopting care as a radical design strategy—especially in cities like Zurich, where building no longer ensures inclusion.
