Fourth meeting as part of the annual review 2024/25 So Equal So Different: Who needs an architecture that does not mortify diversity? What are the political challenges that architects can concretely face, based on what they know and what they can do with their projects? Professor Alessandro Armando, lecturer in architectural and urban composition at the Turin Polytechnic, will try to answer this question in the light of the conditions in which the profession is carried out, especially with reference to the Italian situation. Starting from the book Criticism of the Design Reason, we will look at the work of architects as a practice grappling with bureaucratic procedures, continuous negotiations and changes of course, which nevertheless still retains the ambition of being able to influence the transformation and improvement of inhabited space, given that human agglomerations are profoundly conducive to equality and inequality.
