Rebuild, reinhabit, rethink

We live in convulsive times, of ecological crisis, health crisis, economic and social crisis... Times of great challenges for which we need urgent, imaginative and transformative solutions. Times in which it is urgent to rethink how we inhabit the world and how we will survive in it in the near future. Times that should also serve us to rethink the city and the need for renewed architecture and urbanism, which overcome the current socio-spatial inequality and environmentally unsustainable development.



The Programme is being prepared
