Designing space across realities.

Studio Space Popular is focused on Transmedia Architecture through design and theory.
Transmedia Architecture defines the experience of space through multiple means: physical and virtual.
We develop architecture that considers physical bodies and virtual beings equally.

Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg lead the practice Space Popular;
an architectural studio that explores the relationships between media and the built environment through research, design and artworks.

Studio Space Popular works at the intersection of the built and the virtual environments.
We imagine alternatives towards responsibility and solidarity in the ways we design, build and inhabit our buildings, cities, towns and villages, enabled by media.

Studio Space Popular is concerned with the civic implications of media in the built environment. Our social lives occur across media – in transmedia spaces whose design and regulation nobody takes responsibility for. Meanwhile our community ties online are becoming as valuable and consequential as those offline. In the same way that we fight for the safeguarding of social housing, public space, civic infrastructures, and overall public services, we must take care of the civic dimension of our virtual environments.
