“…Similar ideas have been applied to design strategies which have shown the adaptability and flexibility of "open works" in architecture [30]. They also appear in discourses which address the synergies which might be established between "contents and containers" as explored by pioneering institutions like the Bauhaus [31,32] or the Black Mountain College [33], among other radical schools. Being more focused on inclusive practices, the latter is probably closer to the spirit of the case study of the UA School of Architecture's research and teaching experiences, which will now be explained below, and which are inevitably influenced and stimulated by their physical and intellectual milieu.…”

As one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful and sustainable world. The integration of the frameworks of analysis and action provided by gender perspective into the design, development and assessment of any program related to university education, research and management is essential to the fulfillment of both quality higher education and an effective transfer of knowledge and values to society. Starting from a standpoint of commitment to this progressive outlook, this essay focuses on the specific case of the University of Alicante, Spain, and on its Architecture studies. It seeks to underline the achievements of this institution in the fostering of a critical spirit and the empathy of its students by way of the implementation of gender perspective as a tool for the conception of complex, diverse and integrating projects, aligned to the objective of mutual care between people and the environment. This is crucial for the co-education of future generations of architects, who will play a central role in the definition of new practices and policies related to space and materials, which favor a more sustainable, inclusive and caring scenario for both humans and non-humans.

“…Yet there is no arrival; instead, this door is an exit toward uncertainty" [45] (p. 15). The possibility of not having a clear objective has been little explored in architecture -beyond a resistance to convention or to following a well-travelled path-however, sometimes it is not necessary to know where one is going, it is enough to know where one does not wish to go [57].…”

Extending the Architecture of Collective Housing: Towards Common Worlds of Care

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article addresses the question of collective housing from the standpoint of two key notions in the contemporary architectural debate: care and the commons. With this objective in mind, a series of analytical parameters are put forward. The aim is to contribute to broadening and qualifying our understanding of the production and management of the collective habitat. As an illustration of each of the ideas expounded in this this paper, insightful examples of recent Spanish architecture are specifically selected and commented, as well as two case studies chosen to elaborate upon their particularities. They all share the fact of being projects, partly or wholly, designed by women, a matter which has had particular relevance in the creation of more sensitive, diverse and integration of built environments. At a time of acute health, economic and social crisis, as well as isolation and insecurity, more than ever, there is an urgent need for inspirational new ways of living and thinking in common.
