Atlas
of Spatial
Care
The Atlas of Spatial Care is being developed as a research platform for mapping, documenting, and critically reflecting on housing, care, and spatial justice. By March, this space will bring together maps, practices, projects, and narratives that explore how care is produced, lived, and embedded in space — from the home to the neighbourhood, from policy to design.
We will be back soon.
In the meantime, we are caring for the Atlas.
The project 'Care(4)Housing. A care through design approach to address housing precarity’ was funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), PTDC/ART-DAQ/0181/2021.

Atlas
of Spatial
Care
Care(4)Housing was a transdisciplinary research project that brought together architecture, urban planning, and the human and social sciences to address housing precarity through a care-based approach to design. Grounded in a participatory and mixed methodology, the project combined action-research with research by design, positioning design as both a method of inquiry and a tool for knowledge production. The research was structured around four interrelated dimensions: a conceptual dimension, focused on building a theoretical framework and mapping practices of spatial care; a grounded dimension, developed through fieldwork, spatial ethnography, and local Care4Housing Laboratories; a knowledge transfer dimension, centred on dissemination, data restitution, and the production of accessible outputs, including the Atlas of Spatial Care; and a pedagogical dimension, connecting research and learning through workshops. Hosted at DINÂMIA’CET - Iscte, in collaboration with CEG/IGOT-UL and CIAUD/FA-UL, the project contributed to an interdisciplinary and socially engaged approach to housing research.
