roomservices is an interventionist research institute for practice-based and experimental design projects, transgressing the borders between DIY urbanity, social re-organization, design co-location, artistic research, applied sociogeography, social and entrepreneurial enablement and art practice. The projects of roomservices reflect wide inquisitiveness for experimenting tools and techniques, providing a different viewpoint, or just celebrating the differences in everyday life by revealing their varied shades under new light.

roomservices (Evren Uzer & Otto von Busch) researches on social and subconstructive design, community participation and risk mitigation, sociograms and viral ontologies, cultural heritage and fashion, earthquakes and collaborative crafts.
