Architect-Makers Summer Cocktail Party
Slow Construct invites you to the unofficial architecture party of the summer ツ
Join architects, designers, and friends of the built environment for an evening of cocktails, conversation, music, and a little architectural mischief.
We begin with the 'napkin sketch' challenge, a prompt for the human mind: turn an object—any object—into architecture.
Sketch your idea, pin it up, and we'll let the crowd vote for their favorite concept of the night. 1 entry per person. Super awesome prize.
Our special guest, Illoca, will take the winning napkin sketch and transform it into a viable architectural proposal in real time: floor plans, building massing, and renderings generated live in seconds.
Challenge aside, come for the vibes:

Music set by architect-DJ Alvaro Velosa.
Space will be limited. Join us at Designers Collab, a curated design and retail experience in Williamsburg.
