XL Cycle PhD in Architecture and Design Cultures Conference

(THE) CURE. Converging Viewpoints 
Holding Complexity in Architecture and Design Cultures 

Cure carries more than one meaning. In its medical sense, it is the act of healing, restoring what has been broken. In its Latin root, cura, it is care, attention, the deliberate act of tending to something. In its architectural and curatorial register, it is the act of selection and composition: giving coherent form to what was scattered. This conference proposes a convergent gaze: a way of looking that overcomes partition finding a common focus. Architecture, urban planning, design, ecology, technology and social science are not adjacent fields. They are facets of a single act of care. Cure names both the diagnosis and the method.
