About

You will be invited to arrange and create your ideal living space, using a selection of lightweight, movable walls and representations of abstracted furniture.  All the while a projector beams typical and historical floorplans onto the ground, which you might use as either inspiration or contrast. This event will make you think about and vividly experience some of the challenges in designing and delivering social and livable housing in a fun and creative way.

This event is open to all, as it should be experienced by all— it makes some of the abstract challenges of urban planning and interior design seem lucid and immediate. You should therefore attend, whether you are a housing policymaker, architect, designer, student… or simply just interested in the experience that this intriguing event has to offer!
