Where Does Inclusive Design Meet Film? Copenhagen Architecture Festival (CAFx) Launches Film Mosaic: Leave No One Behind

The world’s biggest social challenges are reflected in the way we design our spaces. Privatization of public space, lack of affordable housing, dark design and spatial segregation are just some of the most common causes and manifestations of urban inequality that characterize contemporary cities. While holding the potential to reproduce these inequalities, inscribing them further into space, design can also work to oppose discrimination, propelling equity and inclusion.

Fale Marker House / RTA Studio

In the tradition of a Pacific a fale or simple whare occupying a coastal site, this concept draws its form from a simple pitched roof sheltering an open living pavilion. However, from the water or the beach, its silhouette is evocative of a harbor marker, upright on the dune, guiding its seafaring client’s home. Its owners asked for this whare to be a modestly scaled holiday bach with 3 bedrooms and social family gatherings space. The waterfront site occupies the land by the side of the road where ocean views are obstructed by the foredune – a common constraint of Midland’s Beach.

White and Timber House / Kibbin Design Studio

The site of White and Timber House has unlimited access to an iconic South Coast view along 7 Mile Beach with Cullunghutti Mountain in the background. In response to site orientation and the angle of the view, the house features a segmented floor plan set around an internal courtyard. An open riser stair and void area run adjacent to the courtyard acting as a light well and in turn, providing natural heating and cooling throughout the home.

Red tongue Boutique Store / 134

Surrounded by 500 bottles of wine - Red Tongue Pangyo - by 134. Red Tongue’s sixth wine boutique condenses function and information into a minimal space, to help streamline the customer’s wine selection process. When first commissioned the design of the 6th Red Tongue Wine Boutique, I immediately recalled the view of the vast vineyards and shimmering lake of a Swiss winery. Amidst the systematic rows of grapevines lay hidden a singular wine cellar. Countless bottles of endless shades of wine are brought to our shelves after crossing various elements, from the land and climate of where a grapevine is raised, to the vintner and producers who help elevate the qualities of each and every grape through their own techniques for cultivation, production, and storage.
