A skateboarding school in Kabul, an open-air cinema in Jenin, murals in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and a garden in Paris-Testify! The Consequences of Architecture presents a selection of projects that seek to improve social, economic and environmental conditions through architectural and artistic means.

Through the personal impressions of diverse stakeholders-construction workers, students, journalists, photographers, academics and politicians-Testify! highlights the projects and their impact from the perspective of the users.
