As the Darwin Building is adapted for new occupation, Interior Design used the opportunity to document some of the moments of Wear in and around the building. WEAR was designed as a short workshop for the superREUSE platform to engage students with a forensic study of the building, documenting moments of extreme abrasion, decay and erosion in order to document the long life of the building.

After isolating and documenting WEAR, students then made 1:1 versions of the site, capturing the moment of wear through its replication. A small exhibition of the archive of wear took place on Thursday 25th September in the aptly title Room 101 Stevens.

What does Marxism have to do with architecture, its histories, and its criticism? These questions have been posed before, but they require reassessment in light of the continuous expansion (and revision) of Marxism in response to new global crises. The edited collection Struggles in the Concrete takes up this challenge, bringing together a group of international scholars to examine the entanglement of architecture and capitalism through the prisms of labour, gender, environment, and race.

Using different thematic sections of the book as starting points for discussion, the editors and contributors will continue their debate while engaging RCA students and staff in a broader conversation about the stake of architectural criticism today.
