Never before has the term "community" represented a pressing urgency like today, that of getting out of a flawed mechanism that has seen a sort of star system settle in the world of design.
After years of self-promotion and exasperated individualism , in which designers have become their own brands, a new generation of architects, curators and designers brings the concept of collectivity back to the inside their own design thinking and social intervention practices.
And it is with great optimism that those of my generation should look to these new recruits that they have managed to find in the daily experience of the community - and in overcoming the numerous difficulties that this entails - their personal manifesto , promoting criticisms, reflections and interventions often resulting from the activation of lateral thinking, and enhancing dialogue and even dissent.
