Architecture concentrated on society can curb marginalization and exclusion and become a driving force for new environmental, political, and social structures. Architecture is a powerful medium for communicating, an instrument through which many urban and outer city areas can claim rights, progress, opportunity, and inclusion. Further, it can help spread and make effective the principles of sociality, participation, healthcare, integration, and legality, everywhere and on any scale. By embodying these principles, architecture in this millennium will increasingly have to engage with and find answers to increasingly complex challenges.

Within the aforementioned context, TAMassociati and CODESIGNLAB will share their pivotal experience with students and the public. The Taking Care event will include two presentations: “Face and Back Sides” and “African Fabbers Atlas.” They will offer an engaging discussion regarding the potential role of indigenous and spontaneous architecture on sustainability in architectural design: How to respond to climatic changes reconciling nature with “tekné?” What is the social role of technology? How can architects reconsider their practices with the goal toward supporting community-oriented projects? These questions will be discussed through a number of paradigmatic projects in order to shape an interdisciplinary approach that bridges different knowledge.
