Activism, a key concept.

We have a problem. The problem of this blog, of this whole research, has to find answers : which are the projects (s)elected to be PSI? Could be the activist' projects, in wich architects play a role. Points to write :

A. Difference between political and architectural activism.
Political activism promotes ideologies. The aim of political activism is to make those promoted ideologies enter the public space - public space understood as the place where people discuss ideas. Means : medias.
Architectural activism builds projects. The aim of architectural activism is build the public space - public space understood as the place where people meet. Means : to define.

B. Architectural Activism = inversion of the command :
When architects do not wait a command to build what is needed. A complete revolution of the profession. Risky too.
