ABSTRACT

This paper presents a theoretical study made from the recent works of the North American sociologist Richard Sennett. In his trilogy linked to the Homo Faber Project, the author presents three concepts: craft as a making-thinking; cooperation as a necessity to review social and political relations; connections between build and dwell. The articulation of these concepts from the perspective of open systems with an emphasis on participation and complexity may indicate other ways of seeing, living, and dwelling in the world that are the most creative, empathic, plural, strange and curious as possible. An ethic in which inclusion and respect are fundamental attitudes so it is possible to be and to live both in cities, schools, or social movements.
