Building a better future is today’s great collective project. The relevant question from architecture is how to transform the words of the moment into a matter of design – living together; transparent institutions; integrative infrastructures, etc.- to fight against climate change, the social gap and the crisis of the city.
The architect Juan Herreros, founding partner of Studio Herreros, will present some real projects that ask this question with an experimental and collaborative spirit.
