Belonging is not an abstract concept, but something to be cultivated through conscious and active experiences. Under specific circumstances, it becomes a tangible construct that can be collectively designed and fostered.
The Royal College of Art in London has always been committed to providing a platform for students and tutors to express themselves, feel represented and build layered identities. How are these dynamics daily performed within the complex ecosystem of the school?
Starting from ADS7’s explorations, where conviviality is a spatial tool to enable new opportunities for living together with and in difference, we will discuss the overlaps between design and research practices at the scale of the city, the architecture, the object and the body.
We will unpack the peculiar interactions that characterise RCA’s multiple laboratories of teaching and learning. Interested in how people’s being within particular sites impacts their being as a person – we will highlight the relational mechanisms in space that turn mere co-presence and cohabitation into actual collaboration.
