✨ Dear curious, creative minds, artists and life lovers! ✨

Change the meaning - The transformation of Structures and Objects

In this session we will be playing, shifting and transforming objects and structures into different things and meanings. I will be challenging you to change your way of observing, using and looking at certain things and to shift your mindset. You will awaken your creative, playful side and transform the meaning of ordinary objects and learn how you can get shift and find inspiration in your surroundings. This will be a very fun and exciting topic which will challenge your creativity and curiosity. Be curious, be funny, be open, don’t be shy, simply try out and let your imagination play around.

The idea of the workshop is to open up and widen your awareness and ability on observing specific things or topics by getting new inputs which sharpen your senses, change your perspective and thinking while using this moments to transform, discover and tap into your own creative skills. I will share my knowledge and perspective as an architect with you and guide you through the workshop.
