Summary Annotation. Between 2018 - 2019 OFFICE, in conjunction with their teaching at RMIT University, curated a series of informal lectures within contentious public places around Melbourne. Every Wednesday evening via an Instagram tip-off, students and members of the general public would meet for the discussions. The theme for the series was the Politics of Public Space, and it only seemed fitting for this to occur in situ. Twenty-one speakers in total have contributed to this discourse with backgrounds in; architecture, landscape architecture, planning, law, criminology, activism, urban design, public housing, geology and public art, all with varying readings of the city. To preserve and disseminate these events, OFFICE has compiled this content into a quarterly publication."...the built environment constitutes the social order. It doesn't just reflect it; it forms and reproduces it." Libby Porter The Politics of Public Space - Public Lectures in Contentious Places is a quarterly publication of transcripts that speak directly to the city and the way we read it. Each issue draws out new forms of investigation between the individual practices and the content gathered from the discussions. That these talks took place on street corners, in laneways or public squares is what gives them an informality, and it is this quality we seek in the publication.
