EXPERIENCE | EXPLORE  | ENGAGE 

Spacious programs generate cultural change in support of transformative spatial practices. 

SPACIOUS PROGRAMS

In addition to our in-situ projects and research, Spacious creates engaging programs that generate cultural change in architectural practice.

At heart our practice is organized around recurring open ateliers. To catalyze collaboration and experimentation across traditions, cultures, and disciplines we invite professional and local communities into our critical conversations, sensorial explorations and 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 participate in and develop critical and empowering programs such as architectural pedagogy, lecture series and residencies for (young) professionals. In support of the emerging field of transformative spatial practices these programs advance and contribute to slow, feminist and post-western perspectives on the built environment.

A SPACIOUS PEDAOGY

A Spacious Pedagogy is a transformative spatial pedagogy emphasizing bodily action and movement in the experience of architectural space. Developed at KU Leuven, this spatial pedagogy informs courses and workshops across the globe.

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.

OPEN ATELIERS

At heart Spacious is organized around recurring open ateliers. The Open Atelier for Biotopological Craftsmanship, hosted at artist incubator See Lab in the Hague, is a prime example of our approach to co-creation.
