"I see architecture as a way of anticipating possibilities that are not yet here."
"I don't think for us, utopia is something about speculation, but actually about finding the tensions in the present that can announce possibilities that would be desirable to make possible."
"The world in which we're living is sinking, but it's potential that is growing within the cracks of a system that's in crisis."
"His work approaches these conditions through collaboration, bringing together architects, scientists, and activists to address questions that extend beyond the boundaries of just one discipline."
Andrés Jaque's architectural practice reframes utopia as an evolving concept that anticipates future possibilities. His studio, Office for Political Innovation, engages with environmental and political conditions, emphasizing collaboration among architects, scientists, and activists. Jaque views utopia not as speculation but as a means to identify present tensions that can lead to desirable futures. His projects, like the Reggio School, reflect this approach, addressing the impacts of construction processes and exploring opportunities within systemic crises.
