Social Architecture — Theory and Practice aims to equip the students with theoretical/historical knowledge of ‘Social Architecture’ as well as practical skills for practicing it. Resonating with the theme of SINGAPORE ARCHIFEST 2020—“Architecture Saving OUR World”, students explored the potential roles of social architecture and public spaces in addressing issues of climate change, public health, social equity and cultural continuity. These case studies are documented in two formats: a publication and a website with interactive map. This project, we hope, is only the beginning in bringing together such social architecture movement, to bring forth the spirit of creative activism amidst the dynamically changing world, and to show how architecture can make a difference.

Our intention is to discover how we can put these two types of social forces together for continuous political mediation processes and cohesion in order to build Slupsk’s resilience underpinning socio-economic deprivation. To achieve such social dialogue and knowledge exchange, a simple manual framework, at small and medium scales, is designed for the urban commons and state interventions to: DISCOVER, PROCESS and IMPLEMENT DIY projects aiming to enhance the degraded part
