RIAS CPD: Co-living Design Study with MVRDV
Thursday 6 June, 12:30 - 13:30 (online)
The online recording of this event can be made available on request.
Event description:
MVRDV Architects have recently published details of their Design Study into co-living as a typology of shared living.
The study explores how co-living can help re-shape the future of housing, address issues such as increasing in-affordability, climate change and incorporate changing societal attitudes and ways of working.
To discuss the findings of this publication and how they could be applied to housing developments in the UK and Scotland, we are excited to be joined by MVRDV’s Associate Design Director and Architect Gijs Rikken. Attendees are welcome to submit questions to Gijs on signing up. As a reminder, this event is free and exclusive to RIAS members only, don’t miss out by registering via the link below!
