EFAP writes:
Underconstructions is an observatory of innovative architectural and urban processes in Europe…
…That reflects on the changes happening in the field of architecture at large, including urban and landscape design
…That identifies problems and issues in regards to living and working conditions while reflecting on social engagement and civil involvement
…That provides a meeting space for the increasing number of groups committed to improving urban, landscape and architecture processes
…That pursues finding new methods of collaboration between entrepreneurs, architects, and designers
…That acts as a catalyst for public discourse by creating a database of accumulated experiments, observations, and investigations
…That advocates the improvement of regulations for architectural creation and finding solutions to the issues of social justice as well as ecology and economic crises…
That provides the means to exchange and disseminate information as well as experience.
Underconstructions is a unique opportunity to promote engaged, imaginative, unexpected architectural and spatial design.
