What does Cairns mean to you—and what should its future become? House of Us invites the community to share how they experience and imagine their city with architect Suzanne Bosanquet.
Respond to guided prompts about home, place, wellbeing, belonging and opportunity. Add your thoughts to an evolving creative installation.
The first in a globally connected initiative exploring how built environment education, community participation and design can translate voice into agency, strengthen future pathways and help people participate in shaping their communities.
Help shape the places—and futures our young people will inherit, by responding to guided prompt cards about home, place, wellbeing, belonging and opportunity.
Workshop: Saturday 12 September, 1.15pm
Supported By Suzanne Bosanquet Architect, together with FNQ Chapter of The Australia Institute of Architects, Allison G Stout , Gisela Jung + Roger Mainwood FRAIA. Special Thanks to TPG Architects – Roger Mainwood FRAIA + Margarita Zorilla.
