Description:
The exhibition focused on the architecture which "takes care of people, places, principles and resources" by showcasing projects based on collaborative processes involving different groups of people sharing the same objectives. The exhibition is divided into three main sections entitled Thinking, Meeting, and Acting. The second section, entitled "Meeting. 20 examples of outer city living" is a selection of 20 projects of community architecture, designed by Italian architects, related to ten themes: legality, health, living, culture, play, environment, education, science, nutrition, and work. "Acting - 5 5 5. Project for Joint action", the third section of the exhibition, features 5 projects developed in collaboration with five Italian associations involved in fighting social marginality in suburban areas.

Image Description:
The outcome was five mobile containers (called “devices”), financed through private sponsorships and crowdfunding, conceived “to bring quality, beauty and rights where they are currently absent”, and developed though a collaboration between designers and selected associations.
