Abstract

This article traces the emergence and trajectory of a new UK / Brazil 3.5 year collaborative project Translating Ferro / Transforming Knowledges of Architecture, Design and Labour for the New Field of Production Studies (TF/TK) launching 01 October 2020. It outlines the growing interest in Sérgio Ferro’s work on architecture and labour in the English-speaking context, and sets out how it will provide the basis for a new and much-needed cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural field of Production Studies. The key objective of this new field is to challenge architecture’s blindness to production, and understand and interrogate design and construction across cultural contexts.
