ESCAPING REALITY - Charrette series
As we move through a year into COVID-19, a lot of us have been restricted within the premises of our houses. Within these walls, we tend to spend time daydreaming about fun memories, the outside world, or a place where we wish we could be at that very moment. This conceptual charrette series involves participants creating a unique and emotive take on design through illustrating a room that portrays memories or places that help them escape reality.
It will be a week-long event that will be broken down into three phases: brainstorming, team-based sketching, and individual submissions.
This charrette series explores not only the need to reimagine our reality, but also the restrictions and barriers we continue to face in design such as the design process and collaboration. Through these three phases, participants will take their explorations and focus on honing these skills crucial in our design field through a virtual lens.
With this, participants will have the opportunity to get published on our Instagram and website, as well as in a zine (self-published compilation of work).
