Father wins Architecture and Urbanism students over with his light mood and accessible oratory on hostile architecture and aporophobia.
On Wednesday night, September 14th, the meeting with Father Julio was a starting point to this semester’s LabCom Cafe cycle. Held at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism’s headquarters, the event is also part of the graduates return to sharing the common spaces at the University for extracurricular activities.
Iniciated at 5 pm with music, lots of coffee and popcorn at the FAUrb lobby, the public settled in the auditorium at 6 pm for Lancellotti’s speech. With an audience extrapolating 80 people, the auditorium was full and even counted with audience sitting on the stairs and standing at corners, peeking as they could.
As part of the PROGRAU (Postgraduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism) lecture cycle, the event was attended by postgraduate professors and students as well. Opened by the Coordinator of PROGRAU Professor Dr. Celia Gonsales, who celebrated this week’s achievement of evaluation grade 5 by CAPES, and followed by Professor Dr. Adriana Portella who granted the word to Lancellotti.
Father Julio provided the richest classroom, iniciating important reflections to the formation of Architects, Urbanists and future City Planners. He highlighted the duty of promoting an architecture of resistance that aims the formation of an inclusive city, differentiating to the tireless individualistic and excluding posture of the real estate market today.
We were reminded that Architecture is multidisciplinary and, when done with excellence, the design activity is carried out alongside people and not just for them.
Design spaces for the communion of the different and stay resilience against aporophobia!
