Abstract
The conference theme invites reflection on how architecture schools shape the host city and, conversely, are shaped by it. This paper presents a critical analysis of how student-led initiatives can act as catalysts for alternative forms of learning, rooted in collaboration, trust, and a strong commitment to transforming ideas into action. The case study focuses on the NGO Tomorrow’s Architects and two of its core projects: INFOARH and REconnect. The research methodology combines a critical analysis of the NGO’s activity report with direct observation and autoethnographic reflection.
