ABSTRACT
This interview with urban planner Daniel D’Oca elaborates on resilience in the work of his practice Interboro Partners in New York. He introduces the ways in which some of their projects acknowledge the unexpected, everyday resiliency of people and places. Through introducing specific projects, this interview reveals Interboro’s ethical approach to architecture and urban design, one which combines sensitive engagements and attention to people and places. Yet at the same time, through projects like ‘grassroots regionalism’ and ‘the arsenal of inclusion/exclusion’, the practice also engages with larger-scale problems, from climate change to social problems such as racism.
