Synopsis
We live in a society where critical discourse about care-centered practices are often reduced to exceptional acts of resistance towards the neoliberal rules that dictate the boundaries of the architecture practice. This is far from true: many people fight in their everyday life to promote a built environment that supports care. With our selection of books, we want to acknowledge this growing movement towards a new way of practicing, analyzing, and discussing the built environment.
