Architecture of Participation: Giancarlo De Carlo's Legacy

This lecture explores the legacy of Giancarlo De Carlo, focusing on his vision of architecture as a participatory process. De Carlo's critique of the Modern Movement emphasizes the importance of user involvement in architectural design. Through his projects and writings, he advocated for a shift towards architecture that reflects the needs and aspirations of its users. De Carlo's emphasis on participation challenged the traditional role of the architect and promoted a more inclusive approach to design. The lecture also delves into the work of contemporary architects like Patrick Bouchain, Assemble, and Raumlabor, who continue to embody the principles of participation in their projects, fostering collaboration and community engagement.
