See Mirian Calvo in the Tea Talks (Technology, Environment & Architecture) about Climate Emergency, held at Nuffield Theatre, Lancaster University. Mirian raises the importance of Participatory Architecture in creating social cohesion, a crucial aspect for building resilient communities capable of overcoming the upcoming challenges associated to climate change. She argues that Participatory Architecture allows people to connect with their own sense of agency, so as collectively identifying and devising designerly solutions to transform their immediate surroundings based on community needs, knowledge and resources.

- it needs collective action and interdisciplinary approaches to rethink and redesign our future together
