The Studio for Immediate Spaces (SIS) is a two-year MA programme at
Amsterdam's renowned Sandberg Instituut. It aims to explore and
shape spatial practices on the genesis and production of
contemporary spatial configurations. Through extensive field
investigations, SIS works as a laboratory, testing ideas relevant
to how we live today and how we could live tomorrow. Rural
flatlands, suburbia and gritty city settings; Mediterranean
shorelines and Alpine mountainscapes; open-pit mines and industrial
legacies; abandoned buildings and unfinished infrastructures;
harbours, airports and refugee camps: Such places were the sites of
SIS's research and production between 2016 and 2019. Directed by
Swiss architect Leopold Banchini, it embraced a truly global
approach that crossed, and deliberately ignored, borders. This book
offers a glimpse into this unique journey around the world.
Illustrated with some 790 colour and black-and-white photographs,
it features work produced collectively by participants in
simultaneous roles of geographer, researcher, architect, urban
planner and designer. Brief texts on each project and essays by
Leopold Banchini and other SIS faculty, studio participants as well
as by curator and writer Lukas Feireiss round out this exceptional
documentation of forward-thinking higher education in spatial
design.
