How can the new commons be mapped on the urban environment? How can their dynamic be located? What is their role in the life of the contemporary metropolis?

Make sure you don’t miss out the results of the workshop “Mapping the Commons, Athens” by the Hackitectura collective, as well as the cartography produced through the workshop presented in the Project Room of EMST, and on the internet. You will have the opportunity to wander in two different maps and see their production process through the blog and the audiovisual material accompanying it.

In a difficult financial period in which the contemporary metropolis seems restless and vulnerable, the Hackitectura collective in collaboration with an interdisciplinary group of young researchers and students searched, examined and documented the points of the city where a new form of common wealth can be located. Seeing beyond the “public” and the “private”, new types of commons were mapped which were based on collectivity, sociability, open and free access, gift economy or peer to peer practices.
