organized by Maria Argenti, Anna Bruna Menghini, Francesca Sarno
The seminar aims to address the theme of contemporary living in "Transitional Countries", territories highly vulnerable, continuously affected by humanitarian, environmental and health crises. It seems apparently a distant topic, but actually it closely touches the Western world, which is increasingly involved in emergency and sustainability issues.
Mostly, the seminar will examine the topics related to the culture of "living" and "building", that characterise the rural areas and urban contexts of sub-Saharan Africa as well as the role that the architectural design can assume in supporting sustainable growth of these territories and enhancing processes of the local cultures.
