“[Cultural heritage] has been considered as a secondary issue, as a luxury. But we have seen…that when there is a disaster, when there is a trauma, people really need to hold on to their cultural landmarks, their symbols,” Boccardi explained. “Heritage is the glue that binds people together as a community.” 

Why cultural heritage matters for urban resilience, Barbara Minguez Garcia & Lorenzo Piccio

" Feminist spatial practices often defy disciplinary boundaries, slipping between art, architecture, theory, and social practice to enable more equitable social and spatial environments for intersectionally marginalized communities. Despite this kaleidoscopic range, the fields of the built environment continue to treat feminism as a numbers game: a quantitative problem of packing more, typically cis-gendered, women into practices, faculties, dean’s offices, and board rooms. Representation does matter, but representation without other changes leaves existing patriarchal, capitalist, and colonialist systems intact. In contrast, this project points to the range of intersectional, multiscalar, and relational practices that expand ways of thinking and making in the built environment. "
