The paper discusses the work of the collective Locus, which explores architecture by constructing spatial experiments in selected contexts. This is a discussion of the embrace of shared objectives leading to an absence of personal attribution and the development of an identity for the collaborative project. Locus’s interest resides in the context of spatial investigation, exploring the basic conceptions of architecture and space. The work accepts that spectators may not experience space conscious of the various spatial ideas discussed in the disciplines of art, architecture and science, however these ideas are part of the cultural context in which space is experienced. This work extends spatial speculation with an approach that is perceptual, haptic and visceral. Below is a brief description of projects completed by Locus and a discussion of the process of collaboration and the issue of trust and the negation of self in collaboration.
