Current political and environmental developments urge us to rethink the status quo of what was thought to be right or wrong. Instead of adopting one side, we embrace and exploit the in-between, which allows us to consider the nuances between the opposing perspectives. The legacy of the doubt and the error proves that they write rather a story of invention and progress rather than one of failure and surrender. Instead of striving for the shortest way to a common, but maybe already known solution, we should try to destabilize ourselves by enhancing doubt and error in the design process, in order to discover an alternative role of the architect and form alliances beyond the discipline. As a consequence, we want to promote the experiment on various levels in architecture and its related disciplines, as it bears a highly creative potential due to the fact it accepts and learns from failure. In the end the mistake is an opportunity to improve the process. Therefore, we not only establish a way of dealing with doubt and error, but also enforce an open discussion about these topics.
