Spatial Agency: About. Archi. How Indie Architects Revitalize An Area From The Inside Out. Together with The Hague architecture institute Stroom we’re organizing the Stadsklas, a spring school that teaches innovative and curious individuals interested in cities and design the ins and outs of DIY urbanism.
