Any attempt to discuss solidarity within any political, social and cultural context would inevitably have to address power relations and asymmetries, types and levels of commitment, protocols and hierarchies, institutions and practices, collective and/or individual. When we encounter the spaces of social and political struggle, our will to reinvent how we exist, interact, participate, educate, design, build, communicate and write about, for, within and beyond the boundaries of our profession collides with the limited realities and conventions of our disciplinary formation. The reassurances of structure, permanence, order, form, material, and capital that have historically defined architecture, I would argue, have also rendered it incapable to respond to the temporal and material dimensions of contemporary conflicts, the diffused and asymmetrical planetary crisis of climate change, fundamentalist and technoscientific fascisms. A profession complicit like no other to climate and spatial injustice seems unable to confront the realities of structural violence produced by and within it.
