Space Transcribers is a critical platform that questions the contemporary built environment in terms of its representation and collective imaginary. We believe that any contemporary place is equipotential of meaning and interpretation in its multiple layers of time, history, spaces and agents. We are focused in pushing the stabilized notion of architecture into other artistic and scientific fields, expanding it in order to develop and explore new tools capable of strengthening our capacities of reading and interpreting common places. Our methodology is based on immersive in-situ fieldwork and on socially engaged practices within the communities and the places that we act on, in a constant quest of contents, interactions and data surveys that can be transcribed into structured and relevant narratives. Based in Portugal, this international network was founded in 2015 and its research team is spread all over Europe in Braga, Berlin, Lille and Amsterdam. We operate through the creation, participation, organisation and consultancy of activities, workshops, exhibitions and publications.
