Critical Projections
Critical Projections examines the role and identity of the architectural project as an emancipatory practice, able to articulate, project, assess and debate alternative architectural and social possibilities for the future.
Architecture has always played a key-role in utopian orientations, articulating the material conditions for an ideal society to take shape. Architects’ devotion to utopia has a long history that, especially in the wake of late modernism, has also been radically challenged. The urban architectural project must be conceived as a vital tool for future visions of potential social and architectural transgression on the one hand and for reflecting on the relations of power altered by a proposed intervention on the other.
