The book Vacancy Studies provides the architecture world with an optimistic perspective on the temporary reuse of vacant spaces. According to RAAAF (Rietveld Architecture Art-Affordances), there is great potential in vacant public and government buildings. At the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2010, RAAAF visualized the gigantic scale of these vacant spaces in an installation called Vacant NL.. This book consists of two parts: Part I, ‘Surfing on a Sea of Vacancy’, presents a vision of the potential offered by vacancy and a new way of analyzing and designing known as ‘strategic interventions’; Part II, ‘Parachuting above Vacant NL’ deals with experimentation in design education and in real life.
