User-managed governance of the environments we inhabit—from land ownership\, to buildings\, to domestic spaces—enables residents to be key agents in how resources are distributed\, valued\, and maintained. This lecture will focus on a series of design experiments by THE OPEN WORKSHOP that explore a range of commons—both in type and scale—that use architecture to catalyze and frame the mechanisms for commoning. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nNeeraj BhatiaCalifornia College of the Arts\, ProfessorTHE OPEN WORKSHOP\, Founder \n\n\n\nNeeraj Bhatia is a licensed architect and urban designer whose work resides at the intersection of politics\, housing\, infrastructure\, and urbanism.
