Let’s Roll: Designing a Counterculture for Future Nomads explores the intersection of the mundane and the transformative within contemporary nomadism. Centered on the playful reimagining of everyday life, this project critiques the rigid frameworks of consumer culture, inviting a dialogue between individual agency and the structures that confine us.

Through the lens of make-do! vehicles and ephemeral structures, we create a vibrant tapestry that speaks to the absurdities and joys of self-directed living. The designs serve as a visual narrative, portraying a world where a universal language of signs guides new public interactions, flipping traditional notions of space and permanence on their head.

In this exploration, the exhibition itself transforms into a dynamic playground—a canvas where the act of creation mirrors the process of dismantling the status quo.

Drawings and models become artifacts of a culture that celebrates improvisation and personal expression, prompting conversations around the reassembly of identity and place.

Let’s Roll becomes not just a statement, but a lively invitation to rethink how we inhabit our environments, embracing the fluidity of home in a world rich with possibility.
