Can architecture be democratic?

38 min•30 maj 2026

What is the relationship between politics and the built environment? between the spaces inhabited by the public and the policies that govern them? 


From parliaments to monuments… from open squares to closed off palaces… there clearly is a connection, but how that manifests itself remains deeply contested. 


Tanjil Rashid is joined by Jan Werner-Muller, a German philosopher and historian, whose latest book, Street, Palace, Square: The Architecture of Democratic Spaces investigates this relationship between place, people and politics.
