Architecture + Cities Research Forum: “A Piece From / For Everyone” by Paolo Zaide and Andrea Wu

This seminar reflected on a series of Live Projects that acted upon, intervened in, or engaged with the public realm. Projects such as the Urban Garden Follies, Kowloon Park installations, and the Bottle House involved students in building small-scale architectural works that responded to real urban, political and environmental issues. Spanning sites from London and Hong Kong to the Zimbabwe–Mozambique border, these projects explored how place is shaped by overlapping layers of history, culture, economics, and informal social structures.
