In Radical Rituals, we collect spatial protocols following an imaginary line: the 45°N parallel.
This line crosses Europe, from the Atlantic Coast to the Black Sea. The practices are named “rituals” because they strengthen the potential for collective action in order to reach systemic change. They are labeled radical because they are highly transformative and point toward possible futures.
BIO
forty five degrees is an international collaborative practice of architects and researchers composed by professionals hailing from Greece, Italy, Germany, France, and Spain, transcending geographical boundaries and expanding its international networks to embrace the diversity of culture legacies. In our work, we are committed to the critical revisioning of space-making, exploring new methods, resources and means. With a focus on a comprehensive exploration of the built environment, our practice employs research, design, writing and artistic experimentation to analyze its physical, social, and economic entanglements. We are inspired by the ingenuity of everyday life and particularly keen on gathering methodologies and cooperative strategies, venturing into alternative spatial models.
