Architect and scholar Nathan John will present from his research project spacehacking // citytactics, which collects the reflections of more than 30 artists, architects, and makers from around the world; the picture that emerges of urban interventions as they are used today challenges the dichotomy between the beautiful and the socially engaged.

This workshop introduces the first of a three-step design process, Dream It, that promotes free thought and cooperative design,…

Spontaneous Urbanisms examines the state of the city and some of the motivating factors for the wave of citizen-led actions to improve the public urban realm. From urban blight to uneven development, property abandonment to stalled developments, social alienation to an overly privatized public sphere, urban interventionists are asserting their “right to the city.” This panel will frame the movement—the urge of architects, designers, and everyday citizens to step in and fill in the gap where traditional top-down planning has…

Open to people of all ages participants are invited to reflect on, explore, experiment, and ultimately craft…

What happens after the interventionist stage of urban engagement? This panel brings together architects, curators, and cultural instigators who explore a wide range of scales of design and production from the tactical to the strategic to investigate the promise and pitfalls of bottom-up design. Speakers will address the wide-scale use of these kinds of practices in activating the urban realm and community building, the lifespan of temporary projects, and, importantly, the relationship these projects have to policy and government. Panelists…

Join S.I.participant James Rojas at New Projects in Bronzeville in conversation with artist Maria Gaspar about forms of Latino urbanism. Rojas has closely observed the ways in which Latino populations in the U.S. adapt their surroundings, changing staid, auto-oriented urban neighborhoods and suburbs into hubs of lively pedestrian and commercial activity. Gaspar, an interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture, installation, performance and writing, shares an interest in the transformation of sites through the collision of reality and myth. Recent projects include…

While all of the projects featured in Spontaneous Interventions are aimed at improving the quality of life in American cities, the question remains: improvement for whom?  If some well-intended “improvements” add to gentrification, is the answer to leave underserved neighborhoods alone? Or is there alternative, a way to create a better neighborhood for the same neighbors? , In this debate-style conversation, Steve Rasmussen Cancian of Shared Spaces in Los Angeles brings his experience working with low-income neighborhoods to improve their…

The artists will discuss…
