Bio's
Emilio Brandao is an architect and PhD-student at KTH School of Architecture, within the project CoNECT: Collective Networks of Everyday Community Resilience and Ecological Transition. And for the last 12 years he has been a lecturer in design activism at Chalmers University of Technology. Both his research and awarded teaching experience (UIA Innovation in Architectural Education Award 2022-2023) are interested in urban practices and pedagogies for social inclusion and community resilience. Emilio works with collaborative methodologies of co-creation, and design and build, together with multiple local actors. His work engages with contexts highly challenged by diverse socioeconomic inequalities and urban injustices, both locally in Sweden and internationally, and built on experience from architectural practice, action-based teaching and research, and active engagement in NGOs.
Doina Petrescu is the Chair of Architecture and Design Activism at the School of Architecture and Landscape, Sheffield University. She is also the principal of Atelier d´Architecture Autogérée (AAA) based in Paris. Her research has focused on three main strands – Gender and Space, Participation in Architecture and Co-production, and Urban Resilience, and led to following publications Altering Practices: Feminist Politics and Poetics of Space (Routledge 2006), Architecture Otherhow: Research in Contemporary Practice (Routledge 2018), Architecture and Participation (Spon Press, 2005), Architecture and Resilience (Routledge 2019) and Urban Commons Handbook, (dpr-barcelona, 2022). With AAA, she has won numerous prizes for different projects such as EcoBox, Passage56, and R-Urban.
