Part of the excitement was taking risks: distributed uncertainty in temporary use

On Wednesday 10th December, we welcome dr. Robin Chang (RWTH Aachen University) to give a lecture on uncertainty and risks in temporary use initiatives.

Temporary use initiatives, who use space in between two ‘permanent’ functions, are often said to be experimental, inclusive and creative uses of space. As they provide often affordable space, they function as (spatial) incubators for their users and serve as prefigurations of space. Taking risks is often inherently part of the initiative. This creates, however, also precarious and uncertain conditions to work with and in. Dr. Chang will enlighten us on the risks temporary uses face, how these initiatives embrace them and aim to stabilise.

The lecture will be held in English. Doors open at 19h.
