This episode is titled “Architecture as an expression of Empathy or Affluence?”. BV Doshi, the Indian architect, and winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 2018, famously argues that architecture should be informed not by aesthetics of affluence but by an aesthetic of empathy. Four presenters speak to this provocation from their positions of design, advocacy, intervention, and public service. Ayme Sharma moderates this session featuring Marianne Amodio, Luugigyoo Patrick Stewart, and Andy Yan.  Tiffin Talks at ISF2018 was supported by Vancity.
