Tour

“Living Spaces”, the main exhibition of this year’s festival, presents the neighbourhood of Trakiya, from its creation 40 years ago until today. Moving through the spaces of the apartment, the balcony, the yard, the buildings, and the urban we look at the phenomena developing everyday.

The curator of the exhibition is Megan Lueneburg, an architect who spent a year living in Trakiya while conducting research, interviewing inhabitants and architects, comparing their creation and perception of the spaces. Megan Lueneburg will guide visitors through “Living Spaces”, describing its logic and adding all sorts of information for which there was no space on the walls.

Visitors to the exhibition will experience the neighbourhood from two points of view: the one of the architect and the one of the inhabitant. One will discover the strategies of how the architects designed and how the residents have inhabited. Identifying the role of both in forming Trakiya, we can reassess the way we think about the creation of residential complexes and understand how to best encourage further participatory development.
