TIME TO TALK ABOUT GAMES

The urban fabric of the city is increasingly governed by rules surrounding security, ownership and surveillance. Citizens in both Helsinki and London have been left uncertain about the ways in which the public can occupy and use seemingly public space. HEL/LO – Let's Talk About Games – the second event in our series – invites speakers who explore these themes. They are working to develop creative systems, strategies and designs that aim to alter public spaces and the way we inhabit them.

Confirmed speakers for HEL/LO – Let's Talk About Games include Martti KallialaPublic Works and Studio Weave.

HEL/LO – Let's Talk About Games is organised as part of the London Festival of Architecture and will be held at the White Building, an exciting new canal-side Olympic-edge cultural venue, run by SPACE and designed by David Kohn Architects.  

HEL/LO 2 is part of the British Council's International Architecture and Design Showcase 2012 (21 June – 23 September); a global gathering of cultural projects that investigate architecture and design from across the world, presented for the London 2012 Festival.
