Space and Design Strategies is a transdisciplinary field of study blurring conventional boundaries between theory and practice and merging the fields of visual arts and public culture, architecture and performing arts. The focus is on exploring design and artistic strategies in context of public institutions as well as emerging environments and autonomous spaces.
