Nomadic Space Lab

Our Purpose

Agile Urbanism

Contemporary cities are defined by movement—internal and cross-border migration, cultural diversity, and rapidly changing lifestyles. These forces require public spaces that are not merely static backdrops but active participants in urban life. We are analysing how cultural differences and shifting behaviours influence the formation of "Nomadic Spaces," viewing these through the lens of citizen-led governance and environmental adaptation.

We define Nomadic Space not as a fixed product, but as an adaptive platform. It is capable of transforming in real-time to meet user needs and environmental conditions—shifting by the season, the day, or even the hour.

Building upon the city's established infrastructure, our goal is to enhance inclusivity and adaptability. We seek to answer how we can empower citizens to reconfigure their own immediate environments.

Our Objective

Research: To investigate the impact of cultural diversity and behavioural shifts on public space requirements.
Application: To utilise existing infrastructure as a base for introducing adaptive and kinetic systems.
Outcome: To create a framework where residents exercise "spatial agency," allowing them to reconfigure space based on immediate needs and environmental conditions.
