Season two of the Space Between podcast builds on the belief that conversations, bridging across different spheres, can extend our ability to imagine better futures. Anchored in thinking about space—how it is produced, designed, and occupied—these discussions seek to build knowledge, find commonalities, and inspire actions in the real world. The program fosters intersectional dialogues between architects, artists, geographers, anthropologists, poets, politicians, scientists, and dreamers. Every field has something to offer; what the podcast hopes to do is look at and learn from the “space between.” Candid conversations with guests at the forefront of innovative and liberatory thinking reenchants listeners, while fostering collaborative and inclusive conversations between actors in disparate fields. The second season of the Space Between continues finding delight, synergy, and debate, while rendering critical concerns accessible—and freely available—to a wider and non-disciplinary audience.

KoozArch is a research studio and open-access platform for critical thinking around design. Embracing a multigenerational and multidisciplinary discourse, KoozArch believes it is necessary to pursue vital questions. What if we inhabited our planet differently? From research to practice and pixel to brick, KoozArch challenges the historically and measurably extractive nature of architecture, in favor of a more regenerative and accessible form of practice. KoozArch engages in the creation, discussion, and dissemination of these propositional and planetary futures through our digital magazine, as well as through exhibitions, events, publications, and partnerships.
