The Buildings Show, Toronto

Today at the International Architectural Roundtable, in Toronto, Alfonso Femia in dialogue with Adele Weder, architectural critic and writer; Alison Brooks Architect; Janna Levitt, LGA Architectural Partners; and Ouri Scott, Urban Art Architecture.

"It is a crisis of housing, dense with contradictions between huge housing bubbles and homeless people everywhere in the world. And it is an issue of design responsibility and ethics that needs to be addressed, valuing processes and new building systems, dropped into a political vision of cities and territories. Architecture must be aware of the fragility of the social system and act without hypocrisy." AF
