Design As Writing (2020)

This book consists of the textual contributions the 22 participants made for the Design as Writing course this year. Faced with a new reality of spaces available in our lives this spring, we decided to dedicate the course work to the concept of ’Space’, whether understood as a physical, metaphorical, conceptual or methodical framework. Many ended up using this opportunity to reflect on their experiences of this peculiar period, others used the same opportunity as a necessary escape from the conditions we lived in. Together, all these approaches became an exceptional documentation of the time we spent together (by not spending it together). However you look at it, we did create a space together.⁣
