Here is what you can do in Divisare:

• Play fair. We are a community of different people, we attend different schools, with diverse tastes and cultures...in other words: many of us might not have the same ideas that you do, might have different values from yours and might find types of architecture and architects interesting that are different from your views...Everyone has a right to have their own ideas, so remember to always be polite and correct when interacting with others.
• Respect copyright. This means: do not publish any projects of which you are not the author, images and photographs taken by others or text not written by you. If you break this rule you are going against the fundamental spirit of Divisare, and the subsequent immediate closure of your account could result.
• Explore Divisare, discover different ways of thinking, study and teach architecture that is different from yours, enjoy the pleasure of participating a more open world and professional confrontation in a larger territorial environment.

• In conclusion

  Divisare was born from an idea of participation, sharing and exchange. Our dream is to see an architectural school that is more open, free and aware. This dream can be ruined by your inappropriate behavior. To put it simply: if you think that you can use Divisare without following the rules and terms of use, take notice and let it go... Divisare isn't for you.

If you still have any doubts or questions, and we will be happy to get back to you!
