The Shelter exhibit at Touchstones Nelson

Well, for now anyway. Although this blog was never intended to continue indefinitely, I still have more content to share! The pallet house has been given life in a new location, Dora Edelmann (the 10 Square competition People’s Choice award winner) has developed another version of her “Solaris 10″ entry for a Japanese competition, more pics from the Idea Wall and so on. So, keep checking back, and I’ll continue posting periodically over the next month or so before it flies into the wild blue yonder.

If you haven’t been in to see the Shelter exhibit, we put up a big  “Idea Board” (see image below) so visitors could share their ideas around Shelter. There are some really great ones there, and I thought I’d share a few of them in the waning days of the exhibit (Shelter closes Sunday, November 14th at 4pm).  Here’s one that mentioned something to check out online – the ParaSITE Shelter. Thanks to Addison Lanier for leaving this with us!
