An architect from TiggColl, Manuel Gonzalez Nogueira, looks at how research, storytelling and everyday human behaviour can shape the design of spaces that support family life, community and connection.
The talk starts from a thesis on shared childcare and support networks for working parents after the pandemic, developed through UCL's MSc programme. It then moves from academic research to live projects, including TiggColl's work on family social clubs, and considers how a narrative-led approach can help designers think about how people will actually experience and connect through a place.
