Play Lab to Experiment with Home Space


  • Chicago Design Museum 108 North State Street Chicago, IL, 60602 United States (map)
Confluence: 20+ Creative Ecologies of Hong Kong on a patter of red, tan, and white parallelograms.

By Gary Chang

How small your home can be? Hong Kong architectural designer Gary Chang is known for his specific focus on the growing global phenomenon of compact domestic space as well as his flexible designs that transform interior spaces and architecture. His workshop constructs a play lab of your own exploration of a domestic space of 330 square feet.

A minimal set of essential furniture is ready for visitors to try experimenting with various possibilities in arranging a home within this compact living space. It is both a challenging exercise squeezing all basic elements into a workable and manageable ensemble while reflecting on one’s own interpretation of lifestyle at the same time. Various scenarios composed during the workshop will be recorded from a fixed vantage point and shared on site and via social media.
