Space is both a product and a prerequisite of social relations, it
has the potential to block and encourage certain forms of
encounter. In Common Space, activist and architect Stavros
Stavrides calls for us to conceive of space-as-commons - first, to
think beyond the notions of public and private space, and then to
understand common space not only as space that is governed by all
and remains open to all, but that explicitly expresses, encourages
and exemplifies new forms of social relations and of life in
common. Through a fascinating, global examination of social
housing, self-built urban settlements, street trade and art,
occupied space, liberated space and graffiti, Stavrides carefully
shows how spaces for commoning are created. Moreover, he explores
the connections between processes of spatial transformation and the
formation of politicised subjects to reveal the hidden emancipatory
potential of contemporary, metropolitan life.
