I designed Modular City, a mass-building drop-in experience for family audiences at the V&A, created as part of the museum’s holiday programme. The project explored housing and climate change as critical challenges of our time, presenting modular construction and sustainable materials as accessible solutions. Based on WTA Architects’ real-life project in Bergen, Norway, and inspired by their MultiPly installation as part of the London Design Festival, I led the design and production of an interactive activity inviting families to collaboratively build a city using lightweight modular pieces made from recycled honeycomb cardboard.
Drawing on audience insights from the V&A Families team, the experience was designed to overcome barriers such as time, cost, and perceived relevance to the museum. Through hands-on experimentation and collaboration, families explored sustainable design while interacting with engineers and architects, encouraging creative confidence, problem-solving, and shared learning.
