Vacancy Studies - Experiments and strategic interventions in architecture

Many bunkers, forts, churches, castles, hospitals, water towers, post offices, prisons, palaces, and airports are empty. Vacancy Studies provides the architecture world with an optimistic perspective on the temporary reuse of vacant spaces.According to RAAAF (Rietveld Architecture Art-Affordances), there is great potential in vacant public and government buildings. At the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010, RAAAF visualized the gigantic scale of these vacant spaces in an installation called Vacant NL.
