Stage is a space, where anyone can organize their own event.

We used crowdsourcing and crowdfunding to reactivate an abandoned park theater in Dnipro, Ukraine. We built a team of experts, who created the architectural vision. We built a big audience, reaching out to Dnipro's cultural communities. We leveraged their ideas, resources, and energy to collectively design and execute the vision.

Over 250 people participated in the process of design and development of Stage. This experience became a mechanism of social integration: in the summer of 2017, Stage hosted over 60 grassroots cultural events.

Stage represents a new model of development, which frees architecture from traditional power structures. Crowdfunding can be an alternative model for financing buildings, which gives communities more independence. Crowdsourcing, in turn, allows tailoring spaces for the specific needs of its audiences.
