on"Commons"
|
"Commons are not simply resources we share – conceptualizing the commons involves three things at the same time. First, all commons involve some sort of common pool resources, understood as non-commodified means of fulfilling peoples needs. Second, the commons are necessarily created and sustained by communities and third and most important, commons are always based on commoning – the social process that creates and reproduces the commons."

Panelák
|
Panelák (Czech: [ˈpänɛlaːk]) is a colloquial term in Czech and Slovak for a panel building constructed of pre-fabricated, pre-stressed concrete, such as those extant in Czech Republic and elsewhere in the former Soviet bloc. Panelák[plural: paneláky] is derived from the standard Czech: panelový dům or Slovak: panelový dom meaning, literally, "panel house / prefabricated-sections house." The buildings remain a towering, highly visible reminder of the Communist era.

Redesign of a housing building in France by Lacaton & Vassal |
New floors, built as a self-supporting structure, are added on the periphery of the existing building at every floor, to extend the living rooms, create closeable terrasses and balconies. The existing facades with small windows will be removed and replaced by large transparent openings, so that the inhabitants will profit of the exceptionnal view on Paris all around.

Pelin Tan's Blog |
The "spatial distance" of everyday life is something that makes it difficult to position our being and knit the social paths. What I mean by “social paths” here is “living together”. My relation to myself and to the "other" is defined through the spatial organization determined by economic and political decisions.

Convertible City |
Convertible City is a research project that explores strategies to convert Joburg’s lines of division – its physical and mental boundaries - into places of positive social exchange. Urban boundaries could be considered a result of “disintegration” (social, functional, legal, economic, cultural, political, both historic and contemporary) in combination with the imperatives of rapid urban growth
