Riconoscimento e responsabilità. Il ruolo del progetto nel Community Land Trust di Bruxelles.

A Community Land Trust is a non-profit corporation which makes possible and preserves the access to land as a resource for different kinds of needs and rights, from productive activities to housing. I argue the concept of property at the core of the CLT model is based on recognition as the reversal of exclusion: recognition of the subjects interested in the use of a given resource and hence concerned for its preservation. Recognition of their right and their capacity to take care of it and to govern it. Which role could have the project - at an urban and architectural scale - in making possible such a different approach to the ownership and the governance of resources? I will try to answer this question by referring to the CLT in Brussels, having contributed to the design process of one of their first projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
