Practices of Engagement. Experimental Architectures for Collective Spaces

Hosted as a joint session, this discussion explores experimental architectural practices focused on engagement and collective space. It examines how temporary structures, participatory processes, and material experimentation can activate social interaction and shared ownership.

Drawing on experiences from Europe and Japan, the session reflects on architecture as a collaborative and open-ended practice. Collective spaces are framed as sites of learning, negotiation, and care, where design becomes a tool for empowerment, inclusivity, and civic imagination.
