McMANSION TO MICROMANSION:
HOW CAN YOU CHALLENGE THE
GREAT AUSTRALIAN DREAM?
9:30am Fri 20 May / Auditorium 2 (State Library)
The concept of ‘bigger is better’ has
been challenged by Malcolm Holz and
collaborators Gabriel and Elizabeth Poole
with the introduction of Hutwheels. Taking
up the international trend of micro housing
which has seen shipping containers and pod
houses spring up in New York Tokyo and
London Malcolm brings to the Australian
market a possible solution for affordable
and sustainable living. In a landscape where
space is at a premium and resources in
demand could this micromansion spark
a rethink of the great Australian dream?
