Housing Journeys III: Drawing Our Way Home
Housing Journeys III: Drawing Our Way Home
Can dream Homes live in reality? How do architects turn dreams into buildings we can touch, love, and live in? How can you ensure that your dreams of housing are translated into life completely, not fractionally?
If you have ever asked yourself these questions or thought deeply about what you might do if you had the power to change your built environment, you will find yourself in like-minded community at Housing Journeys III. At this third and final session in the series, third-year architecture student, Jackson Tignor, will lead us through a drawing activity where we will consider home as a set of layers. Layers of people, feelings, memories, and building that come together to create a Home.
Come here to cherish Home in community and explore how we translate our dreams into drawings that tell stories.
This session invites you to reminisce, to map memory, and to sit in community as we expand our understanding of how large Home can be. Join us for the second Creative Kickback in the Housing Journeys series—a space to reflect, create, and live together, if only for a little while.
