Home Truths

  • Ed Yau
Self Initiated: Exhibition and campaign focusing on the statistics of empty homes and homelessness in London.

London is increasing in its population, as its desirability. These two factors compounded have created a sharp rise in the demand for housing, contributing to the housing shortage.As this problem worsens, with more homes becoming increasingly unaffordable, many properties are remaining vacant. Parallel to this, rising homelessness furthers the imbalance in the capital.

The Home Truths exhibition aims to reveal the statistics to the public, and expose the current situation of both on-going problems. The proposed design is located in Trafalgar Square, and was selected to propagate about the issues in the heart of London. The exhibition design includes, creation of the structural walls and information graphics, 3D printed sculptural data maps, and a fold out map, which showcases figures of empty homes and homelessness.
