How can we challenge traditional standards in the built environment to better understand and activate the interactions between people and space? This workshop offers an innovative approach to exploring this question.
Through physical experimentation and playful co-making, participants will engage with everyday materials and objects sourced from the home furnishing company IKEA. Together, participants will create playful spatial installations that delve into and transform the relationships between the body and the built environment.
This hands-on workshop provides a unique opportunity to reimagine space through creative and interactive processes. By using familiar materials in unconventional ways, participants will challenge traditional notions of design and encourage participants to explore new possibilities in spatial interaction.
Join Anna Conrick and Monash’s Department of Design for an exploration of playful design and spatial dynamics to push the boundaries of our understanding of the built environment. Through experimentation and collaboration, we aim to inspire new perspectives and innovative approaches to designing spaces that engage and empower.
For DIA Accredited Designers, attendance at this event is worth 1 informal CPD Point.
