An inter-cooperation project of Arqbag and Pol·len, which aims to create a publishing line, to accommodate projects that respond to social and solidarity architecture.
The books, self-produced, or collaborations, are wanted to be created from experiences and debates, which are linked to each other by grouping them into themes that respond to the current moment. They value the commitment to the community and the territory and that they deal with the infrastructures for life, bringing to light what happens there, what is transformed there, what is lived there.
The first of this series of publications, L’Escola Expandida (the expanded school), comes from the concern to learn with and for the inhabitants of the future. Emphasising the concept of comfort, and educating in the use and understanding of the spaces that surround us.
The expanded school. Rethinking learning spaces is the first book in the SOTRES series by Arabag, architecturel cooperative and Pol·len editions.
For a long time, the School has been at the center of a debate that calls for the need for changes and the need to rethink learning spaces. The health and climate emergency forces us to reconsider priorities, such as the relationship between the school, the territory and the community.
The proposal aims to interact with these spaces and interpret them from an experiential perspective and attitude, to understand these infrastructures as a collective laboratory where we can experience and learn about the space that surrounds us.
These are spaces of opportunity to explore, analyze, rethink and transform the immediate environment around livability and comfort. And to do this we propose collective action, involving the entire educational community to respond to the needs of the users themselves and generate tools to decide and act towards an energetic, social and environmental transition.
The learning spaces go beyond the continent or the site. And it is from this idea that the concept of expanded school arises. The expanded school is the opportunity to permanently explore the limits, because the important thing is the processes and interrelations that are generated there.
With this book we want to share experiences, views and ways of doing things, to contribute to building and articulating new learning spaces, defending a collective approach from a Social and Solidarity Architecture.
With texts by Coque Claret, Arqbag, El Globus Vermell, Mariona Genís, Germán Llerena, Equal Saree, Voltes, Lemur, Troncsijoc, and Jaume Carbonell.
Adobant l’arquitectura is the second book in the SOTRES series, by Arabag, an architecture cooperative and Pol·len editions.
