Rooms for Being
Design that worships doing forgets the quiet architecture of belonging. By thickening thresholds and cultivating everyday nooks (our micro-commons), we make room for people to pause, meet, and return. Rooms for Being reframes liminal space as the heart of spatial justice.
Why Spatial Justice?
If justice asks who gets what, spatial justice asks where. Drawing on foundational texts (Lefebvre, Soja, Fainstein), this primer explains the politics of place and why Lemon Papaya’s work is urgent now.
What is Spatial Justice? (and why it matters)
If justice is about who gets what and why, spatial justice asks where. Where the bus stops, where shade lands, where a ramp is, where a door locks, where the noise is sent. This primer is a pocket guide to seeing the politics of place, and what we can do about it.
Design as Liberation: making belonging the default condition
The plaza wakes at dawn: vendors prepare their stalls, an elder tests a curb with her cane, a child chalks a hopscotch galaxy. Liberation, here, is not a slogan. It is the quiet redesign of who gets ease, time, and welcome. This is how we practice it in the everyday.
