#HOUSES | 2019WDF

Access

About

#HOUSES is an exhibition of a selection of residential spaces designed by Winnipeg-based designers. A custom designed house is a spatial form/embodiment of a ‘living’ (habitual practices, ambitions and desires). Beyond the apparent styles and materials, one can trace the crossings of the occupant’s characteristics, the designer’s (spatial) interpretations, and the site’s material and environmental conditions and challenges.

Through drawings, photographs and models the exhibition will feature how the designers have nuanced the client/family’s specific ways of living, and their often demanding needs and desires, in their HOUSE design. The exhibition is also intended to provoke a series of discussions/reflections on HOUSE designs in Winnipeg and our living conditions today.

Organizer

Winnipeg Design Festival

The Winnipeg Design Festival attempts to cultivate and share Winnipeg’s rich community of talented and creative individuals; and the products of their creative processes of design and making. WDF also strives to build and cultivate interdisciplinary relationship and partnerships with industry and like-minded organizations that promote the value of the good design of art, objects, architecture, and the greater built environment. WDF also wishes to be inclusive to a greater public audience, as a means of promotion, appreciation, and education of the design of the built environment. StorefrontMB is pleased to announce the theme of the 2019 Winnipeg Design Festival (2019 WDF), PROTO-, with Jae-Sung Chon as acting curator. Following the theme, 2019 WDF will focus on encouraging, embracing, celebrating, and respecting the idea of the ‘first-in-time’ or ‘first-of’ within Winnipeg’s dynamic design culture.
