[Intensive] Care
[Intensive] Care
- Systemic changes
[Intensive] Care seeks care (full) architectural and spatial practices, its components and potential for fostering new relations, networks, and power of changing our world and ways of living. ICC believes that the current state of mainstream architectural practice is not sustainable as some claim to be: it is extractive (extracting wealth from land, resources, and labor), exclusive (practice and a consumer good for the privileged -who can afford), and constantly narrowing its practice to growth, development, and innovation by disregarding the costs it is creating on people and the environment. Conventionally, architectural practice is not held accountable for this crisis condition we are in. But, can we, the practitioners, educators, and thinkers of architecture, shift our modus operandi to one that also includes responsibility, that is in line with ethics of care, and operates on maintaining, continuing, and repairing the world?
