Visual Spaces of Change Teaching Gallery is used by diverse courses where photography is present significantly and the potential of image is utilized for broadening horizons both for academic teaching, learning and research, making citizens in general and the academic community more conscious of of architecture and public space, as well as being conducive to the construction of new spaces of political discussion and social intervention.


It is expected that further upgrading of the VSC e-learning platform will potentiate interaction, feedback, and networking among diverse participants in a pedagogical process designed to structure, represent and expose individual and/or collective interpretations of their social reality, stimulating the capacity of students to understand, critically think and act over its transformation using photography as their main instrument of inquiry, formal expression and communication.


The VSC project aims to offer considerable innovations in improving student’s capabilities on the use of photography as a significant research and communication tool, as well as to allow different public to gain a new enriched perception and understanding of architecture and public space, inducing self-reflective positioning in diverse publics.
