This contribution includes a reflection on reactivation of abandoned places and focusing primarily on a new understanding of the role of architects in a future society, dealing more and more with participatory design tools and with the reuse of existing buildings and interpreting the notion of social and environmental sustainability. A window was opened towards the future where the imaginary landscapes developed by our students - and by the students who have answered the call - with unexpected results of reflections shared in this short Workshop lead by Marie Kraft and myself and accompanied by our UOU colleagues. In this section, the projects of the students are to be considered as a test bed for our work and reflections as researchers, practitioners and educators. An ATLAS of possibilities, both here and now.
