Design professions have not been spared by crises, whether linked to the pandemic, Ukraine’s war or climate emergency. Crises are generating impacts and a regular question: how to remain agile to respond to new issues?

While inaction increases the cost of the transition, how does architecture face social and climatic challenges: how to use what is already there, reactivate crafts and bio-sourced materials’ sector?
