Architecture and landscapes for democratic living #2

To live in a democracy is to live as a democrat, to practice “self-government”. It is by situating ourselves and interacting with our environment that we participate in the creation of our conditions of existence, and it is by virtue of the qualities of certain places that we have the opportunity to do so. This cycle of seminars offers a multi-disciplinary reflection on the ways in which contemporary landscapes are constructed and inhabited, with a particular view to questioning the possible forms of realizing the common good.
