The Importance of Design, or What Can Architecture Do?
Although architecture alone cannot solve the problem of homelessness, the question arises: What and which roles can it play? Or, to be more precise, how can architecture collaborate with other disciplines in developing ways to permanently house those who do not have a home? Homelessness — the state of having no home — is a growing global problem that requires local discussions and solutions. In recent years, the official political discourse in many countries around the world implies that poverty is a personal fault, and that if people experience homelessness, it is because they have not tried hard enough to secure shelter and livelihood. Starting from his curatorial and editorial work in relation to the exhibition and publication 'Who’s Next? Homelessness, Architecture and Cities', Daniel Talesnik will present historical and contemporary projects to discuss the role of architecture in developing possible solutions for permanent reintegration of the homeless.
