DESCRIPTION:Rocío Calzado\nROCÍO CALZADO\nThe Great Together\n\nAmid a h
 ousing crisis\, Europe moves beyond demolition to seek alternatives for mo
 dernist housing heritage. The Great Together documentary follows large est
 ates and explores through transformation\, maintenance\, privatisation and
  demolition\, how utopia collided with local politics\, markets and commun
 ity. As part of the research “Beyond Demolition: The Care of Architectur
 e”\, it frames architecture as an instrument of public policy and explor
 es how networks and communities enact collective housing buildings.\n\nRoc
 ío Calzado is a Spanish architect and political scientist\, currently pur
 suing a Ph.D. at the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées\, and teachi
 ng as an associate lecturer at the École d'Architecture de la Ville & des
  Territoires Paris-Est. Her academic research focuses on maintenance pract
 ices in architecture\, particularly within the field of social housing.\n\
 nRocío is a co-founding partner of docar films\, a documentary film colle
 ctive dedicated to narrating urban and architectural controversies. Her fi
 lmmaking practice centers on European social housing\, demolition\, mainte
 nance\, and housing rights.\n\nThis lecture is part of the School Lecture 
 Series\n\nCOMMUNITY VOL.1\nSeven exemplary projects and case studies\n\nC
 ommunity is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through shar
 ed customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exi
 st. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than in
 clusion. However\, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposit
 o explains that community 'is not a property or territory to defend but a 
 void\, a debt\, and a gift to others\, reminding us of our otherness.\n\nT
 his lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. H
 ow does architecture explore\, define\, or enable communities? Can archite
 cts collaborate directly with communities\, bypassing institutional entiti
 es? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and esta
 blished architectural figures respond to these questions through their wor
 k\, which spans film\, exhibitions\, and communitarian buildings.\n\nSave 
 the date and join us on Tuesday evenings!\n
