Brutal D.C. Community Day

In conjunction with a gallery exhibition on Brutalist architecture in Washington, D.C., I led the planning and execution of a large-scale Community Day designed to translate architectural concepts into an interactive, hands-on experience.

I developed an activity where participants used cardboard and paper materials to design their own buildings—either inspired by Brutalist forms or entirely imagined. These individual creations were then installed within the gallery, gradually forming a collaborative, community-built cityscape.

From sourcing materials and designing the activity structure to coordinating setup and managing the flow of participants, I oversaw the full experience. The event also included catering and drew a wide audience, requiring strong organization and adaptability in a high-traffic setting.

What made this project especially meaningful was watching visitors move from observation to creation—engaging directly with the ideas presented in the exhibition.
