As clearly seen in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, marked by the motto 'stay at home’, housing precarity showed, once again, persistent inequalities. Yet, the pandemic also revealed the importance of care: taking care and being taken care of, marked 2020, and the interdependency experienced by all suggests that ideas about care are also particularly relevant to the design of built environments. As expressed in the findings of the research project “How to stay home? Immediate interventions to fight COVID-19 in precarious neighbourhoods in Lisbon Metropolitan Area”, coordinated by LAGES [LagesJorge20], it is urgent to address how Architecture, as a discipline, can rethink and integrate the idea of care of/in the built environment, contributing to the construction of better and urgent answers to the current housing precarity. The current proposal follows this line. Care(4)Housing explores four dimensions on care through design. The first [SPATIAL] is rooted on the idea that we need to CARE FOR SPACE. The second [SOCIAL], follows the awareness that we need to CARE FOR PEOPLE. The third dimension, [TECHNICAL], it’s strongly related to BUILDING WITH CARE, consonant on how we, as a collective, care for the planet [FitzKrasny19]. The last one, [POLITICAL] defines CARE AS A TOOL. From the standpoint of an unfulfilled fundamental right, to the opportunity framed by the post-pandemic recovery plan for Portugal, planning to end housing precarity by 2026, this is the moment to discuss housing for all, within the academy and beyond.
