Jiří Ryba (cz) – democratic and engaged architecture Part of contemporary European architecture creates projects that actively seek to support and promote social and cultural inclusion and integration. Where does this impulse come from, and what projects are its results? What social conditions are favorable for democratic and engaged architecture? How long was the journey from designing gas chambers to inclusion architecture? What do the individual exhibited projects have in common, and how do they differ? Is the social cohesion of contemporary European cities threatened, and who takes responsibility for it? These and similar questions will be addressed in a theoretical lecture from the field of sociology.
