Rooms for Being
Design that worships doing forgets the quiet architecture of belonging. By thickening thresholds and cultivating everyday nooks (our micro-commons), we make room for people to pause, meet, and return. Rooms for Being reframes liminal space as the heart of spatial justice.
ComFORT Downtown: On blanket forts, hot chocolate, and the architecture of intimacy.
In November 2012, we turned Edmonton’s sidewalks into living rooms: blanket forts, steaming hot chocolate, and strangers becoming neighbours. ComFORT began with a $500 challenge and a question: what if rest is something we design, together? The result was small, warm, and wildly human - proof that play can be public care. Build your fort; build your city.
