Intersphere

We call for a city that provides space for everyone to fulfill their potential—a city where not every square meter is planned or programmed but where people have the freedom to shape their surroundings beyond commercial interests.

InterSpheres is the name we give to these unplanned zones inside and outside buildings, in public areas, and within oversized collective spaces. Is planning the unplanned a contradiction in terms? We don’t think so. A city without room for the unplanned becomes monotonous; the oxygen that fuels creativity runs out, control is tightened, and the sense of freedom wanes.

InterSpheres brings together diverse examples of the unplanned, the reclaimed, and the shared spaces a city urgently needs. The publication is a collaborative effort between architects Studioninedots, architectural historian Marieke Berkers, and graphic designer Sean van den Steenhoven and is accompanied with artworks by Wouter Stroet and Frans Parthesius.
