TATJANA SCHNEIDER
I am a researcher, writer and educator based at the School of Architecture in Sheffield, UK. I am co-founder of research centre ‘Agency’ and was founder member of the workers cooperative G.L.A.S. (Glasgow Letters on Architecture and Space), which aimed to construct both a theoretical and practical critique of the capitalist production and use of the built environment. My current work focuses on the changing role of architects and architecture in contemporary society, (architectural) pedagogy and spatial agency. I’m interested in employing and implementing theoretical, methodological and practical approaches that expand the scope of contemporary architectural debates and discourses by integrating political and economic frameworks that question normative ways of thinking, producing and consuming space. I am (co)author of Spatial Agency. Other Ways of Doing Architecture (2011), Flexible Housing (2007), A Right to Build (2011), (co)editor of Agency. Working with Uncertain Architectures (2009) and glaspaper (2001-2007).
