That knowledge has become the resource rather than a resource, is what makes our society âpost-capitalistâ.
It changes, fundamentally, the structure of society. It creates new social dynamics. It creates new economic dynamics. It creates new politics.
Peter Drucker âPost-Capitalist Societyâ, 1993

Article by SĂlvia Marimon Molas in the leading Catalan newspaper ARA on how Spanish authorities are relocating symbols of the dictatorship.
âIt (Augmented Reality app) would make visible what Franco wanted to hide and would bring out everything that is hidden and buried in the Valley, transforming the totalitarian story into a polyphonic memory,â says Vogelaar.
This could be a tool as long as there is no physical transformation of the Valley, but archaeologist Alfredo GonzĂĄlez Rubial, who has excavated Cuelgamuros to trace the lives of prisoners who did slave work there, believes the monument cannot be left as it is.

The COVID-19 pandemic forces us to develop visions for future hybrid (combined physical and digital) public cultural spaces.
The lecture describes the development of Hybrid Space Labâs approach to urban and spatial phenomena, coining Hybrid Space as a new set of conceptual tools and a new qualitative space from the encounter of the physical and the digital.
Lecture @ Architecture Fund, National Gallery of Art Vilnius, Lithuania, 5 March 2020
The way we encounter urban transformations in the modern city vary sharply â for some, such development marks the emergence of new and ‘smarter’ future whereas for others a grave omen of a tomorrow they will have no part in. One of the most popular terms for describing these fraught changes is gentrification. While the term has been an effective means for expressing how social inequalities manifest in architecture and the urban landscape, it has a tendency of producing overly reductive narratives about predatory outsiders and local victims.
Lecture @ Architecture Fund, National Gallery of Art Vilnius, Lithuania, 5 March 2020
What should spaces be like in which experiments with digital technologies are made, experienced and further developed? How can we provide access to and knowledge of digital technologies, and above all create ways to shape them, develop them further and experiment with them?

Instead of creating a gap in this highly symbolic place, the international think tank Hybrid Space Lab represents the impetus to explore alternative memory narratives to the previously totalitarian narrative of the Valle de los CaĂdos.
On 24 September 2019 Spainâs Supreme Court approved unanimously the exhumation of the former dictator Franco from the underground basilica of Valle de los CaĂdos mausoleum. Hybrid Space Labâs project âDeep Space: Re-signifying Valle de los CaĂdosâ investigating what transformations are still needed at the Valle de los CaĂdos so as not to create a cenotaph â an empty burial monument â is becoming increasingly urgent.
Exhibition @ Goethe Institut Madrid, 5 June 2019 until Francoâs Exhumation
The challenges of digital transformation are becoming more and more tangible in the daily lives of Berliners. There is an increasing need to get involved and take the city’s digital future into its one’s own hands. From 2019 Berlin will develop a digital strategy in which goals for the digital future of the capital are to be formulated.

Ubiquitous digitization is increasingly transforming urban life in all its aspects and Smart City technologies promise unlimited efficiency to urban mobility solutions. It is however worth reflecting on why digitally supported and automated negotiation concerning, amongst others, mobility does not necessarily equal objective and fair decision-making.
Lectures, Discussion @ Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, Berlin, 15 July 2019
Working on places of conflict can be extremely challenging. As soon as a polarised discussion is addressed with a proposal, it is bound to cause some sort of backlash by at least one of the affected parties. There is no clear way out of it. Or is there? Architecture practice Hybrid Space Lab takes a rather unique approach for the re-signification of the controversial site of Valle de los CaĂdos in Madrid, the burial ground of Spainâs dictator Francisco Franco and 33,000 victims of the countryâs brutal civil war.

BPD Magazine will publish in June 2018 a double interview with Prof. Frans Vogelaar, Partner at Hybrid Space Lab in Berlin and Prof. Dr. Elphi Nelissen, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) on how digitization is changing mobility and the city. They explore the possibilities of digital technologies for citizens and cities and the design of future cities.
Double Interview with Prof. Dr. Elphi Nelissen & Prof. Frans Vogelaar @ BPD Magazine, The Netherlands, 1 June 2018
Fast-paced advances in technology are creating diffuse and volatile conditions in which international actors operate. Disruptive innovations such as machine learning and big data analytics are changing governments, NGOs, the media, businesses, and in some cases entire industries. New and unexpected players entering the field are putting pressure on the traditional division of roles between politics, business, journalism and civil society. And this is just the beginning: developments like artificial intelligence and blockchain technology are only just starting to have an impact.
