Space in Motion is an initiative by Stephanie Lama and Sebastian Janusz.
In our work - whether it is architectural design, installation or site-specific performance – we try to face the dialogue as a part of the process that focuses our attention on four ideas, all new to modern city: slowness, empathy, secrecy and infinity. We believe that a creative intervention related to space in motion in particular should confront those subjects entirely in order to play any role in the future. We see dialogue as an effective means of on-going communication rather than as an attempt to reach some conclusion or to express some viewpoint. Its’ target is to increase view of multiple perspectives and create a new understanding of a situation that demands change.

Stephanie Lama was born in La Paz Bolivia and trained as a dancer, an architect and a movement. The core of her work focusses on the interrelations of the creative practice between architecture, dance making and therapy. Her work experience fluctuates between the realization of buildings, research, dance making, development of concepts, teaching and facilitation of therapeutic change through movement.
During her collaboration for several years with Professor Herman Hertzberger she has been engaged in the publication of books and exhibitions next to the building process of theater and school buildings. She participated in design of The Tivoli Vredenburg, a contemporary music complex located in Utrecht that consists of five halls designed acoustically for a specific music genre. Currently she is involved in the project OCC - Onderwijs- en Cultuurcentrum in The Hague, where the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, the Nederlands Dans Theater and the Residentie Orkest come together in one cultural building.
After being classically trained as a pianist and composer in Poland and Russia from the age of five, he studied architecture in Poland and Germany and completed his masters degree at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, The Netherlands. Since then he gained his professional experience with well regarded architectural practices including OMA/Rem Koolhaas, UNStudio, NL Architects and Herman Hertzberger.
Currently he combines practicing and teaching architecture with composing and performing his music. His architectural projects have been exhibited in ArcAm Architectuurcentrum Amsterdam and Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, while his musical compositions have been performed in het Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and EYE Filmmuseum, among others. He is visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and at the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen and guest teacher at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture and at the TU Delft.
