The Housing Project is a thought provoking exhibition and installation engaging with issues of urban design, density and housing that will open at Pin-up Architecture & Design Project space as part of the State of Design Festival and Melbourne Open House 2011.
The Housing Project is a curated sound installation by Greyspace where users build an image of the city by interacting with a series of purpose-made ceramic artworks to compose a sound scape that reflects the topography of their city.
A cinematic presentation and landscape of models of contemporary affordable housing projects by an invited selection of Melbourne's leading architect and design practices will support the installation.
Performances of the sound installation and a late- night 'design debate' within a studio-like environment to showcase and debate issues around affordable housing solutions for our communities are not to be missed events, dates to be confirmed.
The Housing Project creative team: Ann Ferguson, Keith Deverell, Sue McCauley and Chris Knowles, working with a range of community participants
Pin-up curatorial/creative team: Fleur Watson, Martyn Hook, Emma Telfer
The Housing Project is supported by: the City of Melbourne, City of Yarra, ArtPlay, Australia Council for the Arts and VicHealth.
