Abstract	"Who Cares?" Architecture and Care: A collective Manifesto What is care? Therapy, prevention, maintenance, affection, empathy, monitoring, paying attention? Who takes care? Nurses, doctors, family members, scientists, shamans, architects? What is cared for? Children, melting glaciers, birds, decaying houses? Students are invited to give answers to these questions.
Learning objective	Our aim is to increase the knowledge and sensitivity of architecture students toward the issue of care, to make their voices heard and to develop a new teaching form for the history and theory of architecture. Students will be familiar with theories and practices of care, they will learn to take position in a field, they will practice argumentation and increase their writing skills.
