Autoportante : Human architectures for public engagement

Autoportante is a collection of stories of human architectures designed for public engagement, a study of the sense of responsibility people feel in appreciating, using and mantaining public and private structures that provide us with support. Hence, the word autoportante is defined by me as “one’s own automatic ability to care for support structures in society”. My research question being: does it come automatic for people to appreciate and care for support structures?  I have studied human behaviours towards supportive elements in society; objects, places and services (people) that help us in our everyday life. I asked myself whether there is a collective need to relate differently to these, by carrying notions of support structures, politics of care, housekeeping and hospitality throughout different design iterations.
