About
In Our
Hands
This theme and the festival's programming celebrate a collective desire for sensorial, inclusive design, handcrafted practices, and resilient structures. It is also a reminder of our agency and responsibility as architects, designers, and citizens in fostering a more just and joyful living environment. The future, after all, is In Our Hands.
