Demo- practice is a social design collective based in the Netherlands, formed by Alessandra Pandolfi and Phoebe Hotopf as a result of their shared interest in civic life as a designed system.
Through collaborative and participatory engagement, they examine how behaviours, technologies, and governance systems shape collective rights and access within public space. Acting as mediators and facilitators, their work treats invitation and interaction as intentional design acts, making complex systems more legible and drawing attention to the often invisible processes shaping communal life while supporting existing social realities and opening space for new imaginaries.
