Project Description
By designing, researching and implementing a work methodology as the so-called “Social Matters”, I’ve understood how architecture can be a really powerful tool for social development. Community members are active agents of change in the empowerment of local communities. Participation and co-creation processes provide people with a sense of meaning and belonging, which address the needs and potentials of complex human settlements. This work methodology was replicated in construction workshops for universities, architecture biennials and humanitarian post-emergency interventions. Throughout the years, each project experimented with different materials, natural plasters and diverse morphologies.
