Department of Spatial Activities

Faculty of Design in Warsaw

Through the work of our Department, we aim to cultivate a modern and thoughtful approach to spatial design, grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration, empathy, and critical thinking.

A set of architectural concrete shapes

What we do

Collaboration and accountability

Designing space is no longer the exclusive preserve of (interior) architects or urban planners. It is now a cross-disciplinary field that integrates social sciences, ecology, technology, community involvement, and activist practices. The specific areas we focus on, such as incorporating greenery, designing for non-human life, placemaking initiatives, making urban spaces inclusive, and participatory design, demand innovative languages, tools, and collaborative models.

Our work centers on collaboration and accountability. We employ design, research, and workshop methodologies. We place a high value on engaging with diverse stakeholders, including users, institutions, and local communities. We believe that spatial design extends beyond simply shaping form; it involves working with users, building relationships, asking critical questions, and testing potential futures.

Developmental Activities:

  • Creating opportunities for sharing information, ideas, and collaborating in smaller teams
  • Participating in research and art-based projects focused on spatial design
  • Building a network of partners and establishing collaborations with external organizations.

Educational Activities:

  • Engaging students in various activities, including research and art-based projects, workshops, exhibitions, and conferences
  • Conducting a review and preparation for the launch of the specialization in "spatial design."
