This publication is the first issue of Spatial Folders, a thematic periodical that is produced by the faculty of Master Interior Architecture: Research and Design (MIARD) program at Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. It is composed of a selection of graduation theses alongside contributions by guest authors that focus on urgent socio-cultural, socio-political, and ecological issues that affect the (built) environment and its representation regimes. This first issue focuses on extraction and extractivism that characterises the power structures that make our worlds and their historicities. The texts approach the question of extraction - esp. of oil, hormones, milk, wood, and water - from a variety of spatial perspectives, zooming in to specific sites, cases, and areas of interest while providing a critical analysis of various networks of power and influence across time and space.
