The language of Freespace and how to translate it in the time of COVID-19
Freespace can take on different values and definitions. According to the 2018 Architecture Biennale in Venice and its manifesto, “Freespace describes a generosity of spirit and a sense of humanity at the core of architecture’s agenda, focusing on the quality of space itself. It can be a space for opportunity, a democratic space, unprogrammed and free for uses not yet conceived”.
Each project can be a way to find a narrative we need for our world and it can contain different layers to tell its story. We are not passive observers of the world around us but active predictors of it. Designing Freespace means thinking beyond architecture, interior, or spatial design as visual objects and instead explore questions of space, emphasizing the role of architecture in the choreography of daily life.
