In this new episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes spoke with me about her recent book, A Moratorium on New Construction, published by Sternberg Press in 2025 as part of their Critical Spatial Practices series.

If a book starts with, ‘To build is to destroy’, things are liable to get pretty exciting (for an architecture fan). As the bumf puts it – and our chat opens out - Charlotte’s provocation for a moratorium is in pursuit of a reimagined productive building culture: ‘To pause new construction—even if momentarily, creates a radical thinking framework for alternatives to the current regime of space production and its suspect growth imperative.’

Sound good?

Yes. It does.

Charlotte has a personal website, as well as space at EPFL. She’s on Instagram too.
