Scrace Architects, led by artist and architect Tim Scrace, are trialling their latest interactive innovation, the See Space Differently POD at Venturefest South 2025 on Wednesday 12 November at The Utilita Bowl, Southampton. Venturefest South celebrates innovation, creativity, and collaboration across the region — values that sit at the heart of Scrace Architects’ work.
Over the past five years, Scrace Architects has worked at the intersection of art, architecture, and community, creating spaces that inspire, educate, and foster sustainable living. Alongside Tim’s artistic practice, the studio helps clients and communities to see space differently, exploring how creativity can shape a more connected and imaginative world.
Building on this ethos, and following the success of their IGNITE events, the team of Scrace Architects, along with other collaborators, have formed See Space Differently CIC, which brings together creative businesses and practitioners to empower individuals and communities to transform their surroundings through art, architecture, and design.
At its inception is the See Space Differently POD — a prototype version of the idea. This mobile ‘’black box of creativity’’ captures ideas, prototypes solutions, and turns community input into action, inviting everyone to explore the art of the possible. The simple question it aims to inspire is:
“What could the POD be?”
During Venturefest, the team will road-test engagement and gather insights from conversations with the creative community and collaborators across disciplines. The POD itself will remain closed until 2026, when findings from this exploration will help shape its next evolution.
“See Space Differently is about unlocking creativity in everyone,” says founder Tim Scrace. “The POD is a symbol of possibility — a way to spark dialogue, prototype ideas, and test how creative collaboration can lead to real change.”
Looking ahead, See Space Differently CIC will launch a programme of creative consultancy projects, events, and a new podcast in 2026 — continuing to explore how creativity can drive positive social and environmental outcomes.
