Despite their constant under-representation on the public scene, in debates, exhibitions, commissions, prizes and juries, in Italy women architects are at the forefront of those who are trying to reinvent the architectural practice in search of a new alliance between building and living-without-violence, taking care of past wounds (inflicted on the territory).

The aim of the talk "Architects of Resilience", organised on the occasion of the opening of the Italian Pavilion and curated by Marialuisa Palumbo together with RebelArchitette, was to present some of these female professionals, identifying in their design practice important acts of resilience.
