Exhibition Event | Solution or Threat: Are Small Spaces a Dangerous Trend?

A panel discussion in the company of contributors to Roca London Gallery's exhibition Small Spaces in the City: Rethinking Inside the Box, curated by Clare Farrow Studio.

With micro-apartments becoming an escalating trend and need, the discussion will ask what can we learn from other cities where small is the norm? Are developers exploiting an out-of-control market? Is tiny living threatening the physical and mental health of both young and old, and many ages in between?

Speakers include:

Phil Hubbard, British geographer and Professor of Urban Studies at King’s College London

Anna Parker, architect and founder of Intervention Architecture in Birmingham

Kristoffer Roxbergh of White Arkitekter in Stockholm

Jean-Christophe Petillault, founder of JCPCDR Architecture, Paris, and Scenographer for the exhibition

The discussion will be moderated by the London-based journalist and editor-at-large for Dezeen, Amy Frearson, co-author of the 2021 RIBA publication All Together Now: The co-living and co-working revolution.

Doors will open at 18:30 and the talk will start around 19:00.
