I. Research as Situated and Critical Project

Abstract

“[...] the spatial turn stands for the insight that all spaces (architectural spaces, urban spaces, regions, nation states, bedrooms, recreation parks, river landscapes, etc.) are always also results of social production: not only in the sense that there are professions that plan and design these spaces, but also in terms of the challenging insight that spaces only become spaces for people inasmuch as they are— again and again and again—produced socially. In other words: the constitution of space is a performative act.
