Spacious programs
foster a collaborative community of practice.

PROGRAMS

Spacious creates engaging programs to enhance co-creation in the built environment.

 

At heart Spacious’ practice is organized around recurring open ateliers. To catalyze cross-cultural, transdisciplinary collaboration we invite professional and local communities into our creative processes. This engaging approach to co-creation and participatory design allows us to establish a plural community of practice, as well as to activate ongoing engagement of local communities.

In collaboration with cultural and educational institutes, we organize open ateliers, lecture series, educational programs, and artist-in-residencies. These critical and empowering programs advance and contribute to slow, feminist and post-western perspectives in spatial practice.

CREATIVE COMMUNITY BUILDING

A SPACIOUS PEDAOGY

A Spacious Pedagogy is a spatial pedagogy that emphasises bodily action and movement in the experience of space. The program combines new insights from the cognitive and contemplative sciences with in-situ, sensorial and participatory exploration and experimentation. The program is organized as a community lab, bringing together spatial practitioners, academics and students.

Keywords: Transformative Spatial Practices, Sensorial, Performative, Architectural Education, 4EA Cognition.

FEMINIST SPATIAL PRACTICES

Feminist Spatial Practices is a dynamic community program promoting feminist practices in art, design, architecture, and activism. This virtual and in-person program celebrates the diversity of ways that feminism is practiced by pointing to the range of intersectional, multi-scale, and relational practices that expand ways of thinking and making in the built environment. The program is freely accessible.

Keywords: Feminism, Intersectional, Activism, Community Building, Ethics of Care.
