02, Pathways
Five directions.
No fixed model.
Select a pathway to examine where it works and what risks require attention. Pathways may overlap, combine or change as local conditions evolve.
Selected pathway
Use What Is Empty
Activate vacant shops, offices, public buildings and industrial sites before demanding new construction.
Possible models
- Temporary cultural use
- Meanwhile spaces
- Short term occupancy agreement
- Vacant to cultural matchmaking
- Low cost artist workspace
- Pop up exhibitions or rehearsal rooms
Works well for
Early stage collectives, visible vacancy, testing demand and cultural actors with limited budgets.
Watch closely
Short term instability, hidden renovation costs, legal uncertainty and gentrification risk.
