Presented by Mary Featherston and Suzie Attiwill as part of Melbourne Art Book Fair

Does your living environment look after you? Does it work for you?

LIVEability shares the empowering quality of design know-how to enable people to transform and create the world they want to live in.

Most of our lives are spent living, learning and working within buildings.

Changing patterns of contemporary life are making new demands on our environments – think Covid. Very few will be professionally designed.

This pop-up is part of an ongoing project to explore how design know-how can be shared to help everybody create environments that are both practical and pleasurable.

Pop in to share your ideas about how to do this with renowned designer Mary Featherston AM and Dr Suzie Attiwill, Associate Dean Interior Design at RMIT University.
