T - Project, mediation and decision
Normally, the project is seen by the common people (and by advertising professionals) as a solitary and romantic action in which the architect's sketch magically becomes reality. In fact, an architectural project is the product of a long, complex and variegated dialogue between a series of actors differing by time-frames and function who contribute progressively to the realization of the work. All ladders need various degrees of dialogue which animate the architectural project and mix creativity and rule, decisions and confrontation between different actors. As a result, the project becomes an extraordinary place of mediation and confrontation. Gaining awareness of this condition means, for the designer, charging the architectural work with an ethic, civil and political value which is fundamental for the near future.

MS - Cities in crisis and the hope of architecture
Cities have the ability to absorb and interpret the state of transformation and crisis of the societies that live in them. From wars to economic crisis, passing through ethnic clashes and the strong economic and social inequalities, a series of elements hosted by cities and dramatically represented through places and constructed spaces is dealt with. What role can architecture and the project play in this type of conditions? Can architecture give shape to spaces of peaceful coexistence and contribute to forms of cultural and social mediation? This session questions itself on the role that architecture can play under the conditions of urban and territorial crisis and on the instruments that it can use.

MS - Architecture and communication
How and using which instruments can architecture communicate the research and the results of its own actions conducted in the real world and, together, how will it be able to generate an active and knowledgeable interest in the questions that society constructs on a daily basis?
Architecture should be able to communicate through its works and the environmental quality of which it should be the bearer, but will this suffice in a society based on the decisive role of communication? Should we resign to considering architecture as an advanced urban commercial or is architecture able to implement more significant civil and environmental resources and contents for the contemporary city?

MS - Libraries: New Urban Catalysts For Culture And Democracy
In the past twenty years, as never before, many libraries have been built all over the world, some of them among the largest and most ambitious ever realized. Today, the public library, traditionally a place where knowledge is preserved, diffused and transferred, has also become a multimedia information nexus, an access portal and compass guiding users through the world of ICT, a bridge across the "digital divide" and an agent of democracy. It has also increasingly become a place of social interaction, a new urban piazza: a place to meet, communicate, create and consolidate a sense of belonging. The library is a perfect example of an urban locus, a point of reference in the city, a vehicle for political and cultural communication and a leading player in urban marketing: to start up processes of urban and social transformation, to crystallize the image of the community in a symbolic architecture.

LS - Cooperating architect: what identity ?
Is it possible to define the role of the architect who intervenes in development cooperation projects? What duties, what expectation, what kind of education and what experience is required? Perhaps we should start with a more basic question: Architecture what identity? Architecture could be a tool to sensitize about a correct education, not only for the professionals but also to anyone. The figure of the cooperating architect has to be placed in this debate, not as a single professional but in his being part of a system.

SS - Spanish Arquitecture 2008
Architecture, as cinema, fashion and design, is a cultural product, made in Spain among the limits of industry, art and knowledge with an imaginative passion and powerful resources. In the case of Spanish architecture, this cultural product is having an unprecedented expansion and reward, as great exhibitions such as those in New York (the crucial On site in the MOMA), Tokyo or China prove. The presentation covers the works included in the publication entitled "Arquitectura Española 1997/2007" , the projects selected for the IX Biennial of Spanish Architecture and Urbanism, the projects awarded in the CSCAE Spanish Architecture and Rehabilitation Awards 2007 and, in collaboration with SBE-Spain, the buildings included in the Spanish participation in the Sustainable Building, SB08, world conference.

SS - Forum - Ancient Geography... Invented Territories
For traditional societies, "Modernity" could be a paradox, a dilemma, or at best a source of an identity crisis. Cultural Roots are the foundations upon which any society can and should build its own new path for progress and development. What nurtures those roots to sprout new hopes, new paths and new paradigms? What forms of expression should those emerging societies adopt in ancient lands, in historical contexts?

The future quality and sustainability of the built environment will be determined by the children of today, who will be the citizens and decision-makers of tomorrow. Their ability to make sound, informed decisions will depend on the education they receive. They need technical economical and ecological knowledge, and social competence. They need aesthetic sensibility and pratical skills. And not least, they need fantasy and creativity. The forum of the UIA Work Programme, Architecture & Children will present strategies and experiences in built environment education from countries and regions all over the world - demostrating an impressive variety of teaching strategies, from learning by playing activities in pre-schools to fantastic projects of elder students in schools.

SS - Intermediate cities, urbanisation and development
The UIA-CIMES will act as the central nucleus of the work project support network and help to share studies and experiences amongst city professionals and Universities. This relationship will structure the research carried out on the basis of academic and professional experiences. The aim is to move towards a new culture of better balanced and more supportive and sustainable world urbanization, based on good government and a culture of Peace. The UIA-CIMES will also develop a project support network linking universities and city professionals in over 100 intermediate cities throughout the world, facilitating the transversal development of knowledge and understanding and helping to share it amongst participants in the project. Intermediate cities contain the majority of the world's urban population and their mediating role is based on urbanization. They are therefore more aware of urban-rural relations than the largest cities and also more harmonious and favourable to the local and territorial development of the world's regions.

SS - The Architect's role
Given the place of the architect's profession in the important economic sector of real estate development, building and construction, the 'intellectual' nature of the architect's services is sometimes levelled against him/her in an effort to reduce them to the level of commercial activity, such as that of businesses.
The issue is therefore to refashion the role of architect, by reasserting the ethics of his/her profession, the share of his/her creativity and field of activity in the general context of space development and construction, in the broadest sense of the term.

SS - New poverty in and out of Eastern Europe
Transition times produced slums around all post-socialist cities in Eastern Europe countries. Some of the inhabitants, mostly Roma, are leaving for the West, translating the ghettos to older EU members. The renewal of the property regime, a mixture of evictions and abandonment, is leading to new strategies of inhabiting the space. Meanwhile, rural areas are losing not only population, but also highly valuable traditional building techniques. All these issues will be illustrated by four recent action-research projects on slums, evictions, nomadism and sustainable techniques.

SS - International competitions: recent experiences, future options
Competitions, and more particularly international competitions, offer architects the possibility to obtain important, and sometimes even prestigious, commissions. They can be considered an essential part of the professional life and activities and certainly contribute in a significant way to enhance and develop the architectural culture of our time. UIA has, for many decades, successfully contributed to the development of international competitions, and its longstanding experience in this area certainly merits international recognition. Consequently, the session, organised on the occasion of the forthcoming Torino Congress, will offer the possibility to discuss and learn from the experiences gathered more recently by those who organise, take part in and judge international competitions.
