DESIGN STUDIO, TU WIEN

	





Rituals of Assembly is a design studio that approaches architecture as a shared ritual—one that connects material, social, and cultural narratives to uncover new spatial possibilities.

Developed within the broader urban regeneration process of the Stadtgarten, a former flower nursery in Gmunden, Austria, the studio was conducted in collaboration with students from the Institute of Architectural Design at TU Wien. Together, participants explored procedural modes of production and cycles of assembly and disassembly through a series of full-scale interventions.

At the core of the studio was an iterative process of prototyping, where making itself became a collective ritual. Emphasizing rhythm, participation, and shared authorship, the project fostered a sense of involvement and identity within the local community. The work unfolded through a sequence of experiments across different scales, beginning with a performative site analysis, continuing through off-site ritual prototypes, and culminating in on-site construction activities developed in close collaboration with local residents.



	







STADT/GARTEN ACTIVATION





The resulting interventions highlighted the potential of regional resource networks while opening new perspectives for the future development of the site. By activating bottom-up initiatives and collective forms of stewardship, the studio sought to generate lasting social and spatial impact.

	Among the outcomes was a new entrance space named “Well Bell”, centered around an existing water well. The intervention includes an L-shaped brick bench, decorated with the participation of a local kindergarten, and a newly constructed bell tower that acts as a sonic marker of the site’s ongoing revitalization.

Another project, “Tale-Tiles,” transformed a former Stadtgarten shopfront into an open workshop equipped with custom tile-making stations. Drawing on local clay resources and regional ceramic traditions, the initiative developed a site-specific graphic language intended to transmit stories and events across generations. Local polytechnic students were actively involved in the process and will continue to contribute to the workshop’s future development.

	The studio also produced “Allee für Alle” (Boulevard for All), an intervention that challenges the progressive mineralization of the site through collective tree planting. Community members were invited to donate, plant, and care for new trees, transforming the act of cultivation into a shared civic practice. The project subsequently inspired a public petition advocating for regular public access to the site and contributed to the formation of a community dedicated to its long-term maintenance.

LJUBLJANA, SOLVENIA



	







Space Saloon and The MAAK’s Rrrubble: Prototyping an Archive is a hands-on workshop that questions the way we see, represent and think of discarded objects and material memory. 

Guided by Marxist terminology, participants engaged in a collective, hands-on analysis of items found in the basement of Ljubljana’s Museum of Architecture and Design. Through a series of playful, action-based drawing prompts, participants attempted to capture their unique, often inexpressible essence. Moving between intellectual analysis and intuitive mark making, the workshop invited participants to rethink architectural representation to embrace a deeper intertwining with things.

Tbilisi Architecture Biennial Furniture Workshop



	






‘Love Thy Monsters’ is an exhibition of site-specific furniture that raises awareness around the illegal dumping of construction waste in Dighomi Meadows, one of the last remaining riparian forests in the region of Tbilisi, Georgia.
In association with the Tbilisi Architecture Biennial (TAB), the furniture components are the kickstarter to a larger project aimed at transforming a derelict power station into an active community space. While the ‘Love Thy Monsters’ address the harm of societal waste, it also points to the opportunities possible in more circular thinking in the design and construction industry.

The MAAK and Space Saloon, as part of their collaborative LINA fellowship, led a group of local creatives and artisans through hands-on prototyping using found materials from Dighomi Meadows. Each custom-made piece tells a particular story on the long-term environmental damage to the area. Lighting fixtures, shelving units and tables of various sizes - exhibited alongside audio recordings, block prints and physical samples from the site - bring focus to their material roots.

At the end of the weeklong making process, the furniture pieces launched the soft opening of Mutant Radio’s new ‘listening bar’ and cafe. Both in-person, and through live on-air broadcasts, broad awareness was brought to the Dighomi Meadows industrial tragedy. By inspiring new worth to what we waste (as well as provoking change in our industry), the project brings into question the role and agency of materials in creative practices.

RRRUBBLE @ VICTORY SQUARE



	








RRRUBBLE, the collective research project by Space Saloon and The MAAK, aims to rethink the role of resources and agency in architectural production. In October 2023, the RRRUBBLE methodology was put into action in Timișoara, Romania as part of the Timișoara Architecture Biennial (BETA) European Capital of Culture. Supported through the LINA platform, BETA invited the team to explore ways in which Victory Square could be re-imagined and enhanced by its public users. Together with students from the Polytechnic University of Timisoara, Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, the group chose to focus the temporary interventions inside the abandoned underground stairwells of the square.

The team mined through BETA’s storage archive of previous installations, exhibitions and biennials, mapping usable materials and prototyping on-site. Over the course of a week, participants collectively reframed the use of the staircases through spatial activations and urban actions - transforming one site into a busker-friendly public stage and the other into a tranquil public ‘living-room’.

DESIGN AS A MATERIAL PROCESS






	






The items from BETA’s archive were prioritized over the sourcing of new or foreign materials. All materials taken from storage had to be kept in their same condition. These constraints produced a creative re-purposing of items, discovered through an on-the-ground, hands-on process of design and making. BETA’s curatorial history was re-discovered through a bricolage of material stories, each explorable through QR codes embedded on the pieces.

ARCHITECTURE FOR THE THIRD MILLENIUM



	






Futuro Pronto is a project in collaboration with the Cape Town based design practice, The MAAK. The pavilion is a step in what will become a larger research and design agenda for the Port of Fano, Italy. It is built out of reclaimed materials from the local shipyard as a nod towards the rapidly transforming Port area.

The Port of Fano is a hub for economic activity. As well as its productive value, it has an extremely rich social network, the result of its cultural heritage. However, as it stands today, these activities are cut off from surrounding areas. In projecting a new future for the Port, this project sees potential in exposing and celebrating these existing assets for the experience of everybody.

Through a three day workshop, Space Saloon and The MAAK applied their ‘learn-by-making’ and ‘primitive play’ methodologies to the Port’s various layers of ‘rubble’. Reusable material consisting of byproducts from the manufacturing process, scraps from older boats, components on hold for future use, and outdated and discarded objects were used to construct a pavilion exhibiting the area’s hyper-contextual aesthetics and material histories.

Through a process of ‘urban mining’, materials with a large reuse potential were digitized into a catalog of ready-made components to be further explored. An augmented reality application, developed by the team, complements the pavilion structure and allows the public to imagine their own uses of the materials and spaces in transition.

ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION VISITING SCHOOL (AAVS)



	




This course was a multi-disciplinary exploration into the methods of creative and scientific field research with the specific aim of demystifying aspects of site, context and landscape. Participants collectively researched, designed and built an interactive pavilion that enhanced the public’s perception of water, soil, geology, flora and fauna while positively influencing and interacting with these diverse ecologies.

This 12 day workshop took place on-site at the Iowa Lakeside Lab, a permanent field research station and summer camp. Participants engaged with the physical and invisible ecologies of Northwest Iowa’s Great Lakes region using a variety of analogue and digital tools. We visited regional natural sites with field-researchers, consulting directly with local scientific experts and lab technicians. As a collaborative unit, we created hands-on explorations with local low-carbon, earthen/plant-based and repurposed materials, culminating in the construction of one final pavilion.

LINA COMMUNITY FELLOWSHIP




	




As inagural LINA European Architecture Platform Fellows, we were invited to several events, symposia, workshops and talks on our work as Space Saloon, as well as our collective research project ‘RRRUBBLE’ developed in collaboration with The MAAK.

RRRUBBLE aims to address resource scarcity through circular strategies, equipping the public with inspiration and tools for rethinking our relationship to material use. We choose to work with found objects and discarded or forgotten items and spaces. We consider this material world a lens through which to uncover historical, cultural and social values that are important to why, how, and what we build. In this way, materials are embraced as a process, not a product.

In order to access available resources, our approach is to source and collect items in-person, with our hands, as well as being directly involved in the making and experimentation process. This establishes important social links and reveals circular, connected narratives, from which new ways of thinking about and making architecture may emerge.

Tirana Architecture Triennale
Virtually Present, Physically Invisible



Space Saloon and The MAAK developed a workshop in collaboration with students and professors of BARLETI University and other Schools of Architecture in Albania, architects from the Association of Albanian Architects, Destil Creative Hub and the Municipality of Tirana experts. 
The aim was to pro(vo)actively reflect on the rapid urban transformation of Albania during the last three decades of “shock” therapy. A massive action of migration from rural areas into the major urban centers developing new architecture for housing. Such action transforming Albanian cities into new realities, can be reflected into an Albanian physical and virtual public installation variant of Laugier’s “the primitive hut idea”.

Swiss Architecture Museum (SAM)
Salon Talk On Maintenance
In the third and final talk of their series, SAM tackled the topic of maintenance, of which Space Saloon and The MAAK were guest presenters.
In architecture, maintenance – along with adjacent activities such as repairing or cleaning – is all too often seen as a menial task, the labor invested in it as somehow inferior or less valuable than the creation of something new. Yet in an age of degrowth and climate emergency, as architecture no longer just means the design of new buildings but rather the care and transformation of existing ones, perhaps the time is ripe for a radical revaluation. What if we were to understand maintenance not as merely keeping the status quo, but as a practice with creative potential in its own right? &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;

Fundacio Mies van der Rohe
Model. Barcelona Architectures Festival



The Model. Barcelona Architectures Festival, the festival of experimental and visionary architecture in Barcelona, celebrated its second edition. From 20 to 30 April 2023, Model presented installations in public space, augmented realities, symposiums, workshops and experimental programmes, among others, which together produced a space for exchange, learning and dissemination of ideas.


LINA fellows were offered the opportunity to be part of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe program through conferences, workshops, mentoring or other collaborative formats, helping their ideas reach further and gain an international audience.

Irish Architecture Museum
IAF Summer School



RRRUBBLE Dublin took a performative and experimental approach, drawing from the disciplines of architecture, theatre and urban design. Participants developed “material passports” that interpret layers of meaning about and beyond found materials and objects. Together we expored how our skills, backgrounds and personal histories influence our readings of materials. Through performative action and improvisation, we evolved these reflections into speculative thinking around their potential for reuse and hands-on making with found objects.

MPavilion Special Workshop



	



As part of Melbourne based MPavilion’s 2022 February program theme — “Rituals: Marking Life” — Public Protocols explored notions of public space through digital and physical performative practice. The month-long workshop was led by Space Saloon in collaboration with Melbourne-based artist/researcher Samuel Holleran with a group of 20 participants.

A series of weekly Zoom meets and creative actions culminated in a weekend of digital-physical performances that traced and explored the mundane and novel ways we use the city through bodily movement, temporary installation, and visual documentation.

See all the results at the collective website: publicprotocols.org

Each week, participants were prompted to react to particular questions around personal and public space, according to the weekly themes: Rituals of Lockdown, Rituals of Reverie and Rituals of Derive. Through a series of performative mappings, investigative reports and actions, we worked to collectively reinterpret the ways in which Melbourne is used, lived in and perceived today during the global shift imposed by the pandemic.

IOWA LAKESIDE LAB ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCY



	




Imagine Iowa Great Lakes and the Iowa Lakeside Lab hosted a series of public events produced as a result of the inaugural Public Art and Ecology Residency. For the 2021 Summer, Space Saloon spent three months in Northwest Iowa, observing the region’s landscapes and diverse ecosystems. Our reactions and results were on display in the form of pop-up installations, site-specific sculptures and multi-species performances. 

The events presented public data in new and interactive ways, encouraging an engagement with the physical and invisible ecologies found around the lakes. Space Saloon augmented the installations with AR applications, spatial audio and data visualizations, developed through interactions with Iowa Lakeside Lab resident scientists (including botany, archaeology, ornithology), field-researchers, lab technicians, students and other resident artists.

Project 01

This installation immersed visitors in a spectrum of ambient UV and infrared light meant for attracting various species of insects and amphibians. The ‘frog dinner theater’ took place at dusk at Marble Lake and drew attention to the lake’s unique and important aquatic ecosystems.

Due to their evolutionary adaptation, fish and amphibians can shift their vision from terrestrial environments to the light environments of streams and wetlands where mud and algae filter out light from the blue end of the visual spectrum. Bullfrogs are particularly adept at simultaneously looking up into the air and down into the water, through an enzyme (closely linked to Vitamin A) found in the upper half of their eyes. While insects, having certain photoreceptor cells in their compound eyes, are particularly sensitive to UV light wavelengths.




	Project 02

Temporarily located along Center Lake’s edge, this pop-up displayed water samples collected from all the public beaches of the Iowa Great Lakes. Visual interpretations of E. coli and blue-green algae data sets were projected onto the samples to create an immersive and informative environment.

Combined sewer overflows, agricultural runoff, and animal waste contribute to the high levels of bacteria that can be found in lake ecosystems. With regard to unsafe levels of E. coli, the bacteria count can trigger a public swimming advisory at 126 colonies per 100 millimeters of water – a “geometric mean” limit set by the EPA. Iowa has a “one-time” standard trigger at 235. The results, however, take time to process at a laboratory and may not reflect current conditions accurately enough. General knowledge says avoid recreation in the lakes a few days after it rains — the added water essentially flushes the county into the lakes.

Project 03

The public was invited to explore the unique sounds of Iowa’s Great Lakes in this immersive art installation. Field recordings of local animals, aquatic creatures and human activities found in the region were installed in wooded areas around the lakes, drawing attention to the complex acoustic atmospheres of Okoboji.

What are the implications for wildlife, particularly given how important sound production and hearing are for a range of behaviours, such as locating food, avoiding predators and finding a mate? In terrestrial habitats, bird diversity and abundance has been shown to decline as a result of chronic noise levels around cities and along roadways. A number of species have demonstrated adjustments to their vocal behaviour in an attempt to adapt to the cacophony of human noise. The need to further understand the complex biological effects of noise and establish scientifically relevant thresholds of noise exposure is a priority for human health and wildlife conservation.




	



Project 04

This installation at the Blue Water Festival and Art in the Park displayed four visual samples collected from a range of lakes. By using the supplied tablet, public visitors could experience a prototype augmented reality (AR) application. This AR app displayed the most current data from volunteer lake monitors in a visual and experiential format.

The Cooperative Lakes Area Monitoring Project (CLAMP) is a volunteer lake monitoring program started in 1999 by Iowa Lakeside Lab and Friends of Lakeside Lab. Volunteers collect water samples throughout the summer on nine lakes in Dickinson County, Iowa. The goal of CLAMP is to provide long term monitoring data for algae conditions and educate local citizens about lake ecology. Bi-monthly monitoring data is tested and shared from over 20 sites across the lakes, from phosphorus and nitrogen levels to temperature, dissolved oxygen and water clarity.

		<description>HELLO PIZZA



	Throughout history the oven was a cornerstone of village life - the place where families gathered, news was shared, politics debated, and community was built. Hello Pizza is a project that wants to re-discover this important typology while transforming it with new shared functions. The project aims to create community through the process of cooking.Found at the center of our courtyard is the oven, surrounded by a modular table where all of the processes of making pizza become shared moments – growing herbs and ingredients, preparation of the dough, baking, eating, and cleaning, including compost and other sustainable circular systems. Through the layered assembly of both construction elements and acquired ingredients, grows the pizza kitchen in complexity and variety – expressing the multiple backgrounds and tastes of those coming together to eat, drink, and celebrate.
