Design Dialogues : A Book Conversation On ‘The 99% Invisible City’
Design Dialogues hosts a conversation around a design book, as a lens to reflect on our practice.
Our coming session will explore The 99% Invisible City by Roman Mars and Kurt Kohlstedt.
Have you ever wondered why certain places have a 'vibe'? A lot of it comes down to everyday infrastructure that nudges, steers, or pushes us out of the way. But cities don't only shape us; we reshape them back. Join us to talk about how design moulds the way we experience a place, and how we redesign it in return.
