A Home Of Your Own

As part of the London Festival of Architecture 2010, I helped to engage dozens of people to make over a hundred model houses from everyday waste materials.  After bringing the houses together in a makeshift settlement in Regents Park, they were distributed around central London.  Carried out with Architecture Sans Frontieres, the project raised awareness about the possibilities of waste, as well as the resourcefulness of slum-dwellers in other parts of the world.
