The architect’s vision—with the ability to observe and to intervene in space—has the power to generate change.
It can influence relationships and interactions between people and the urban environment.
It can trigger and stimulate new ways of experiencing places, or spark reactions by opening alternative perspectives on anthropized spaces.
Every intervention, even the most modest, must be able to activate regenerative processes, suggest new ways of “inhabiting,” and promote a more balanced dialogue between the built environment and lived experience in order to be considered effective.
It is the combination of small gestures that builds good urban quality and gives value to the city’s spaces: nothing more than the accumulation of social actions, small acts of attention toward shared places, and the meticulous ability to take care of them.
