SUMMARY:TAKK—Mireia Luzárraga
LOCATION:Building W41 (MET Warehouse)
DESCRIPTION:TAKK—Mireia Luzárraga (in collaboration with the MIT Morning
 side Academy for Design) Part of the MIT Fall 2026 Architecture Lecture Se
 ries. Presented with the Architecture and Urbanism Group Unlearning the An
 thropocene Architecture after Human Exceptionalism The lecture presents TA
 KK's design methodology through a selection of research and built projects
  that challenge anthropocentric assumptions in contemporary architecture. 
 Integrating feminist thought\, political ecology\, and low-embedded-carbon
  material practices\, it explores how critical theory becomes a design too
 l for questioning inherited spatial paradigms. Through research\, experime
 ntation\, and construction\, the lecture proposes architecture as a practi
 ce of negotiating new relationships between humans\, other living beings\,
  materials\, and environmental systems\, imagining more just\, regenerativ
 e\, and multispecies futures. Mireia Luzárraga is an architect\, research
 er\, educator\, and co-founder of TAKK\, an architecture and research prac
 tice based in Barcelona and New York\, together with Alejandro Muiño. Her
  work explores the intersection of architecture\, ecology\, feminism\, and
  politics\, investigating how spatial practice can foster more equitable f
 orms of life and new material imaginaries for the built environment. She i
