  Architecture and liturgy: design autonomy and standards

  The second International Seminar offers a new stage of critical reflection on the relationship between the liturgical and ecclesiastical guidelines offered by the Second Vatican Council and church architecture, and propose a reflection on what the terms of dialogue and the interdependence between architecture and liturgy are. The dogmatic constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium is a fundamentally important document in the Church's struggle for renewal with immediate and obvious repercussions on the architectural questions concerning the construction and organization of the celebratory space. Therefore, this Seminar is intended as an occasion to compare and propose various ways of seeing and experiencing the relationship between autonomy and the standard applied to the architectural design, in reference to conciliar liturgical instances.

  The Church and the City, 50 years after the II Vatican Council

  50 years after the II Vatican Council a time series analysis of what has been done so far in the field of architecture can be attempted: the number of interpretations given to the Council directives regarding both architecture and urbanism should be approached in a critical way, as well as their relevance today. Through practical examples, the purpose of the seminar is to think about and investigate the role of the Church in the complex urban reality of today. Starting from the assumption that the much debated issue of the Church identity directly refers to need of the Christian community to identify itself in the architectural forms, the main theoretical and methodological topic of the seminar will be the study of the different ways in which ecclesial communities can express themselves and find their identity today, always keeping in mind the multiculturalism which shapes the European cities today more than ever before.

  Subjective dimensions of social vulnerability

  Au-delà de consolider les connaissances sur la vulnérabilité dans ses différentes dimensions, ce séminaire international vise à déterminer un ensemble d'indicateurs, soit quantitatif soit qualitatif à vérifier dans la recherche transnational. Il s’agit de comprendre comment les sujets vivent de plus en plus individuellement au quotidien cette condition inédite « d'instabilité stable » et l’exposition aux nouveaux risques, thématiques qui seront au centre du séminaire que nous allons proposer.
