Studio Roma investigates collective practices, their capacity to assert and to orientate change, instituting new forms of collective life. The theme focuses on cases of change, the conditions that can produce new institutions, between the transformation of rules and the deployment of new balance of forces. The norm seems to be open and permeable to transformations, and the paradox ‘habit and change’ describes it as the result of new conventions, new precedents. Studio Roma focuses on the production of non-state norms, which we can find both in cities and in the digital world. A research on forms of life in the crisis, and the crisis of life forms.
