“Types of Assembly” expands typological inquiry beyond fixed architectural categories to examine how people gather, what conditions enable assembly, and how collective action becomes spatially legible.
The project treats assembly as both formalized and emergent. It looks at collective rituals, political movements, spiritual gatherings, and everyday encounters, asking how these forms of gathering relate to architectural type, performance, and spatial manifestation. In that sense, typology is approached less as a static classification system than as a way of understanding how recurring forms of collective life take shape in space.
Rather than proposing a manual of assembly types, the publication works as an assembly itself: a curated gathering of texts, visual essays, and case studies that makes visible the relation between collective behavior and spatial form, and shows how editorial, curatorial, and representational choices can clarify that relation.
