OFFCITY AiR

Pardubice, Czech Republic

OFFCITY AiR is a residency program based in Pardubice, Czech Republic, that invites artists, architects, and theorists to explore and articulate the architectural and public spaces of the city. Established in 2016, OFFCITY AiR encourages a deep engagement with the city as a living organism and a structured environment. Each year, the residency focuses on different aspects of public spaces, having previously explored themes like visual smog, graffiti, and the trajectories of public transport. For 2024, the program supports a minimum of three projects, offering participants a residential studio for 1-3 weeks along with a daily stipend. The residency encourages public presentations of the developed works and fosters networking with local cultural entities. This platform is ideal for those looking to experiment and engage in interdisciplinary dialogues about urban space and architecture.
