Future Shack

What is FutureShack?

While many think of architecture as grand, historic buildings or the latest artistic showpiece, it is more often found in the dwellings that we see every day. From houses to apartment buildings, architecture is all around us, helping define our neighborhoods in specific ways. Good design can make a difference in improving the character of our communities. What is the future of home design and how will it affect you? And how can you get involved?

FutureShack helps us discover, through examples around our city, what makes good design work. A panel of design professionals and public advocates will lead a discussion focusing the key issues facing our communities when it comes to design. Please join us!
