Toronto-based design studio RAW is set to bring a new architecture exhibit to Queen Street East. The firm is looking to bring together creatives of the city for an event that will change their perceptions of limitations and serve as a grounds for fueling fresh and innovative ideas.
The architecture exhibit shows how buildings can evolve throughout time and how space can be used with versatility. In order to do this, 'RAW SHIFT' will completely change the vacant storefront that the event will take place in and continue to transform it throughout the event. How exactly this is done isn't quite clear, as the structures will adapt to the crowd for an interactive party experience -- modulating the furniture, lighting and art in order to best suit the attendees.
