Spatial Agency - an Agency of Change.

Spatial Agency is an research project that aims to shift the of focus of architectural discourse from design and technology of buildings to one where architecture is understood as a situated and embedded praxis conscious of and working with its social, economic and political context.

"In the spirit of Cedric Price the project started with the belief that a building is not necessarily the best solution to an architectural problem. Architecture, and it is easy to forget this, is about a lot more than just objects in space. (..) Buildings are of course not excluded, but the project expands its reach to cover all aspects of spatial production - from publications to pedagogy, activism to enabling."

The site is an ongoing project and collects alternative positions of architecture, like the collaborative (and feminist) practice MUF, the practice of Santiago Cirugeda, the trend of guerrilla gardening, City Mine(d) and much more.

So, build less.
