This new initiative seeks to establish a unique rotating platform for in situ immersion and experimentation in contested and transient urban environments where the boundaries of spatial agency are actively tested, hinging upon critical analysis and spatial knowledge development.
Drawing on the extensive resources of the DPU in collaboration with local partners, DPU summerLab leverages the reality of the city as a laboratory for developing socially responsive design measures that provoke, stimulate, strategize, and reconsider the role of designers in furthering spatial justice.
The fee per participant is: £600 for the
Bucharest workshop, £600 for the
Rome workshop, or £1000 for both. These fees do not include travel or accommodation, so each participant needs to cover these costs. To apply please e-mail your CV/portfolio and application form (in PDF format, not more than 5MB if available) Andrew Wade (
[email protected]). Deadline for applications is Monday, 11 July 2011. Once offered a place, further instructions will be provided regarding the full payment of fees, additional logistics, and visa information.
