This thesis aims to move research projects into practice, towards a dialogue concerned with translation between media and space. It analyses mass media, public space and social justice in relation to architectural design. The project aims to explore how  visual narratives can become spatialised, or translated into space, and how the research framework surrounding theories of perception and aesthetics has to be approached as an ongoing act of translations between spacemedia and mediaspace. As part of this structure the research methodology, of a multiplicity of perspectives, skillsets and output, is the hypothesis itself. Spacemedia hereby refers to imageries tied to a particular place and context, a visual framework and convention that makes up our spatial understanding. Mediaspace on the other hand is the outcome of the latter and refers to the material consequences of representation. When a visual narrative transcends into, for example, construction upon or against what can be found in a region or site. A response to how we’ve come to perceive a place through imagery and therefore a materialised media realm.
