Minitopia

Minitopia, a non-profit organization in the Netherlands, creates opportunities for citizens to build temporary homes on unused land, bridging the gap between local councils and these flexible living environments. In 2021, I was commissioned to design the visual identity for the traveling exhibition that shares the stories of Minitopia's inhabitants.

This design idea focuses on the empty spaces around and between houses, instead of the houses themselves. These open areas, like yards, paths, or shared spaces, are where people meet, interact, and build a community. By using negative space as a symbol, the design shows how flexible and adaptable these living spaces can be. Since it’s not just about buildings, but also about the life that happens in between them.
