Imaginary Architecture
Calling all town planners, master builders and architects extraordinaire to come together and create a mega mini city for all to explore.
Is it possible to create architecture out of nothing more than dreams? How about some cardboard, sticky tape and string?
Use nothing but your bare hands, wondrous imaginations and a whole lot of recycled materials to help build this interactive wonderland.
Bring a box or two (an empty biscuit, cereal or teabag box), or grab one of ours, and we’ll turn this into a diorama to add to the sprawling cityscape.
Borrow one of our torches and explore our imaginary city. See what stories you can find!

“The installation, unassuming as it was, offered some profound observations… Dream homes are not only made from dreams, they are homes for dreams: places where whimsical ideas can take refuge from an increasingly frightening, turbulent world.” ARCHITECTUREAU
