Assembly
Unmasking Space /
Pedagogies of Student Activism
Unmasking Space organises a symposium on critical pedagogies, bringing together students, activists, researchers, and collectives from Venice, Zurich, and beyond. This three-day gathering will explore alternative learning methodologies designed to cultivate solidarity and resistance within student movements across disciplines and institutions.

Publication
Unmasking Space /
A Handbook for Student Activism
The symposium will coincide with the launch of the collective's first publication—a handbook examining the intersection of student activism and architectural education, offering both theoretical frameworks and practical strategies for educational transformation.

Unmasking Space
Unmasking Space is a student-led initiative within the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich, dedicated to critically examining and challenging dominant knowledge systems and pedagogical approaches in contemporary architectural education.
