Summary:

"In February 2025, four of us met around a small table at entrance to the Frauenkulturarchiv in the historic heart of Chur. This reading room in an extensive library and archive of documents collected about the lives and activities of the women of the Swiss Canton of Graubünden was founded in 1997 by Silvia Hofmann and Silke Redolfi. Jaehee, who is from Korea but who has lived in Europe, in Germany and Switzerland, for ten years was joined by her friends Paul Grieguszies and Ji Min An, both practising architects, with a colleague at women writing architecture, Helen Thomas. Together they delved into Tsing's optimistic 'end of the world' to reflect together 'On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins,' and what that might mean for architecture."-- provided by distributor.
