DEMOGRAPHICS/PROGRAMME
Attentiveness to shifts in social demographics (large scale changes to the way people live, work and enjoy themselves) defines an important component of WAG’s thinking., whether at a strategic urban level, speculating about the possibilities that remain for public space today; at a programmatic and entrepreneurial/activist level, imagining new architectural projects that might now be viable; or at a quite everyday domestic level, such as our work that explores changes that are occurring in the leisure spaces of the home brought about variously by entertainment technologies, cooking as a leisure activity, and the rediscovery of the space of the garden as a space of the home.
Much of our work with students has developed from thinking about this, particularly the design studio led by Cordula Weisser at the University of Greenwich
