IQD is recognized as the fulcrum of a heterogeneous community, around which meetings, exhibitions, conferences develop with the aim of bringing cultural production, particularly referred to architecture, to reaffirm its role as vanguard in the process of understanding and improving the world. The themes addressed in each issue, under the curatorship and with the contribution of international professionals, all refer to the idea of Architecture conceived as a civil and social commitment, aimed at creating spaces suitable for an adequate standard of living of human beings and for their coexistence with the nature and the surrounding.

The purpose is to foster, promote and disseminate this debate, by tackling topics that Architecture cannot ignore today – participation, reuse, sociological implications, sustainability, reading of the context – examined from points of view differing from those of a one-way ideology, almost always demagogic and deceptive. All this, starting from the social root of Architecture: hybrid, experimental visions, featured not so much for the designers as for the users, the addressees of the transformations that any building necessarily brings with it, those who have to cope with them when they are irresponsible or self-referential.

On Thursday 9 March at Triennale Milano, the topic of the latest issue, focused on Architecture of Waves, will be discussed with the curator, architect Benedetta Tagliabue, in an open debate with the public. Designing by weaving means rediscovering the origin and the process of the connections between man, his artifacts and architecture; it means rediscovering a past capable of enhancing the present and of helping it to face the most important challenges, including the environmental ones. Designing by weaving has also the allegorical meaning of intervening on the social fabric, in this case by weaving together people, cultures, living conditions and schools of thought. A participatory project, in which the architect’s skills intertwine with the needs and cultures of the people for whom the work is intended, creates a sense of belonging and enriches all involved people, architecture and context.

The architects curating the next Program will follow: Andrea Boschetti with Carla Ferrer, Amelia Tavella and Daniele Lauria will introduce the topics that will be tackled in the 2023 monothematic issues. During the conference, a short exclusive video will also be screened, produced and commented by Alfredo Brillembourg, curator of the first 2023 issue, focused on Equity in Architecture. At the end there will be an open debate, moderated by Roberta Busnelli, Chief Editor of IQD, between the participants and the public on the anticipated topics.
