Work in Process Exhibit at Design Week Calgary

​Work in Process offers a glimpse behind the curtain into the inner workings of Calgary’s design studios. Featuring one model, one sketch, and one object from ten local firms, this installation reveals the everyday materials, rituals, and trace paper ideas that shape the design process. While we usually only see the final renderings and polished buildings, Work in Process highlights what comes before. It’s a peek at what gets pinned up, redlined, or left on the cutting room floor - and the studio energy that often keeps the lights on late.
