The Studio for Immediate Spaces presents a two-year Master’s program in spatial practices (MA Interior Architecture) that investigates how ecology, society, technology, politics and economy manifest in space. The term “immediacy” in the course title signifies both physical proximity and a sense of urgent response. The course objective is to explore possibilities to work and act in space, and to guide the course participants toward critical positions that can bear a positive and productive engagement with the world around them. Through research and prototyping, programming and design, participants will refine their spatial practices, focusing on critical contemporary issues such as anthropogenic ecological collapse, socio-economic division, and heightened political polarization.
