Spaces of Commons

 

The Architecture and Design Laboratory at Oslo School of Architecture and Design addresses the global systemic crisis encompassing ecological, economic, and social dimensions. By viewing architecture and urban planning as dynamic research fields, it seeks innovative strategies for fostering change amid contemporary urban and rural shifts. Focused on the concept of Commons, which includes shared physical and cultural resources, the studio explores creating communal spaces to navigate climate challenges. Students aim to forge inclusive, multi-species urban grounds guided by socio-ecological ideals, emphasizing community interaction and sustainable alternatives. This interdisciplinary approach tackles urgent global issues, shaping a more holistic and resilient urban future.
