Resilient Assemblages: Expanding Access and Equity through Practices of Piggybacking

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Brian Holland

Piggybacking Practices” is an ongoing research project and recent virtual exhibition and symposium presenting one possible approach to expanding access and equity in the designed environment through incremental, opportunistic means. Piggybacking practices are defined here as multiple-use propositions capable of anchoring undercapitalized activities alongside other more traditional forms of urban development. Piggybackings exploit gaps or niches in the logics and economies of conventional spatial practice while assembling disparate actors together into new and more equitable and resilient forms of collectivity.
