TRANSFORMING BUREAUCRACY INTO SYSTEMS OF CARE

textur 's hypothetical workspace straddles fantasy and reality. As bureaucratic processes — and the spaces in which they unfold — are often rigid, we see this büro as a flexible space that we collectively shape and continually reshape.

DECOMPRESSION SUITE – A soft space for relaxation, de- stressing and letting go. Get cosy, put your feet up, rest your head, get some shut-eye. COMMUNAL WORKING AREA – Gather together to discuss or process administration. This is where we work through institutionally created policies. Let's find funding and other opportunities together.

PUB – Have a drink, chat with us. Here's where we blend and mingle.

DECOMPRESSION SUITE

RESEARCH LIBRARY – Borrow and lend, dive into pages of knowledge. A trove of readings, documents and printed matter. A base where we start from. OPEN OFFICE – This is a place for sharing, listening, giving and receiving support. A transparent, mutable space, shifting with the wind. The open office welcomes you.

GARDEN – Plant seeds, grow something new, harvest. Or just catch your breath, look up at the clouds, get some sun.

CARE CENTER – Find refuge here — or anywhere else that suits you, for that matter — if you need time alone to clear your head, organise your thoughts, practise self- care. LABORATORY – A place to make together, taste together, enjoy together — a space for experimentation. Let's create some new recipes for bureaucratic processes and beyond.
