Tatjana Schneider’s work is concerned with the social and economic mechanisms behind the production of space. She is interested in an understanding of architecture as a collaborative, empowering and essentially political discipline. This focus takes various expressions: sometimes it is formulated either visually or in written form as critique against normative intellectual tendencies; in other instances, it is expressed through direct spatial interventions; and, occasionally, it takes activist dimensions.

Tatjana Schneider has co-authored a number of prolific research projects in recent years, including ‘Flexible Housing’ (with J Till), ‘Spatial Agency’ (with J Till and N Awan) and ‘Right to Build’ (with A Parvin, D Saxby of 00:/ architecture and C Cerulli). As well as being published, these seminal research investigations have received RIBA Awards for Practice based Research and Outstanding University-located Research.

Tatjana Schneider studied architecture in Germany and Scotland. She has worked in architectural practice in Germany and was a founder member of the workers cooperative Glasgow Letters on Architecture and Space (G.L.A.S.) and the Sheffield-based research centre AGENCY. She is currently Director of PhD Programmes at Sheffield School of Architecture.
