Co-Designing Networks of Commons

atelier d’architecture autogérée

is an activist practice working with alternative strategies and tactics for a

bottom up transformation of the city by its inhabitants.

Founded in Paris in 2001, the platform includes architects, artists, urban

planners, landscape designers, sociologists, students and residents.

We enable the re-appropriation of space by residents and the creation of

places for new collective practices and reinvented urban commons.

www.urbantactics.org

Our approach is based on a flexible, temporary and reversible use of

space and aims to preserve urban “biodiversity” through the co-existing of

a wide range of life styles and living practices in the city.
