This installation is a collaborative game and performance that analyzes how we co-create the social structures of cities. At the large round table, participants can add blocks labeled as anything they wish. This could be as ordinary as a park or as fantastical as a unicorn factory. The only directive is not to destroy anything. As this co-imagined city grows, each new build affects how everything interacts and the people who live there.

It questions: What would urban planning look like if it were not driven by bureaucracy, but by the lived experiences, dreams, and contradictions of its residents?
