About

Public Space 4 Her is a project upon teen girls appropriating the public space in three European cities: Brussels, Nicosia & Ljubljana. The project took place from 2023 to 2026 and was co-funded by the European Union as well as local partners different in each city.

Alive

Alive is a Brussels-based socio-spatial design agency that enables local actors to appropriate the city. Through an empathetic and collaborative approach, we aim to make public space more livable. Our practice ranges from macro-scale urban strategies to micro-scale spatial interventions. In each project we implement a similar approach: we observe existing social and spatial situations, involve the local community and co-produce their everyday environment. Founded in 2010, our team currently comprises architects, social designers and spatial designers that address the challenges of urban transformation in an interdisciplinary way.

Prostoroz

Prostoroz aims to address the environmental and social challenges faced by cities in Slovenia and abroad. This is why we turn roads into squares, revive construction sites and forgotten green areas, involve residents in urban planning and search for new value in old buildings. We accelerate spatial dynamics and create opportunities for new uses of public space with interventions and temporary projects. We connect people with spaces and each other through those spaces. Prostorož was formed in 2004 out of a desire to explore and understand open public space. Today, the team consists of architects, social scientists and technical assistants, who approach the challenges of urban space in an interdisciplinary manner.
