Srećko Horvat - Architecture or Apocalypse

Super-rich building bunkers, escaping to New Zealand or sending cars to space, while on the other side refugees escaping wars or climate change. The world seems to be going in a dangerous direction, fake nuclear alarms and possible real nuclear threats lurking from a simple tweet. But what if we should first deconstruct the apocalyptic narrative and what if, instead, we should understand precisely the thinking of the Apocalypse as a possible way out? What if it is Architecture itself that carries a solution to our today’s predicament?
