The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the commons debate engaging with space and spatial design by analysing community-based design processes in two housing commons institutions in Brussels. Based on a literature review and an action research in a Community Land Trust housing project and a public space regeneration project in a housing cooperative, I argue that spatial designers can play an important role in commoning by empowering people to act outside dominant planning discourses and by spatially articulating the social, cultural and environmental role of dwelling space. However, there is need for public support and flexibility in the institutional frameworks of spatial design execution to create room for such engagement.

“设计”公地：探索公地、空间和空间设计之间的相互作用

本文的目的是通过分析布鲁塞尔两个公共住房机构中基于社区的设计过程，为参与空间和空间设计的公共辩论做出贡献。基于社区土地信托住房项目和住房合作社公共空间再生项目的文献综述和行动研究，我认为空间设计师可以通过授权人们在主导规划话语之外采取行动并通过在空间上阐明居住空间的社会、文化和环境作用。然而，空间设计执行的制度框架需要公众支持和灵活性，以便为这种参与创造空间。
