The radical notion of Error

Abstract

In the years following the pandemic, it appears that many of us have consigned its memory to oblivion, as if it never occurred. Yet, that transformative period presented an opportunity to envision a new approach to learning, UNIVERSITY of Universities: one that embraces differences, fosters collaboration, grants students’ freedom of choice, nurtures horizontal relationships, and seeks spaces where genuine knowledge is cultivated.

With each new semester, I find myself questioning whether the extraordinary experiences of that time belonged only to a fleeting moment - a transient pause in our fast-paced routines. However, beyond our UOU workshops, which form the foundation of our collaboration, there remains a wealth of collective experiences generated this very year. It may now be time to move beyond questioning the necessity of UOU and instead adopt it as an enduring attitude - a way of learning and living architecture.
