Parramatta Town Hall

Professor Anna Puigjaner, co-founder of Barcelona based architecture studio MAIO, will share her approach to creating new architectural models for the practice of collective living and care that are re-imagining how we live.

Puigjaner will present new models for collective living and care practices that take as their starting point, collective kitchens, shared social space and service areas. Through her design practice she believes that collective life is ‘deeply understood as a tool for social transformation’ and can be delivered through the re-imagination of domestic space. Puigjaner will be joined by the Powerhouse’s Xinyi Lim for a discussion on their shared commitment to the importance of collective living.

This is an Auslan interpreted event.
