The Ordinary Urbanism Research Lab (OUR Lab) critically investigates ordinary urbanism- spaces and practices that are theorized in architectural discourse as informal, everyday, and non-pedigreed. OUR Lab is committed to tracing the overlooked histories of ordinary spaces, often at the margins of architectural discourse and practice. Ordinary urbanism demonstrates the creativity and agency individuals and communities in meeting their unfulfilled spatial needs. It also reveals structures of inequity and dispossession. By highlighting the politics of spaces created by or for the marginalized and excluded in Los Angeles and other cities around the world, OUR Lab serves as a platform for advocating for and imagining equitable urban futures.
