This is done by creating a learning environment that incites students and their educators to respond to global challenges who is creating conditions to locally engage as active citizens in their communities.
The goal of the architectural department is to support students developing knowledge, skills, trains, attitudes, and behaviors necessary for becoming ethical professionals and cosmopolitan citizens, by advising new political agencies to co-design healthier, safer, and a fairer world, in a changing social, ecological, and political environment.
These exhibited students’ projects speak of architecture that emphasize the plural, collective and collaborative nature of the practice of architecture. Architects can be used in multiple ways; as critical processes of inquiry, as vehicles to raise social awareness, as tools for collective imagination, and as a collaborative project aimed at caring for and repairing the spaces for the common good. These projects use architectures as an instrument for care.
