Since 2007 Laura Robinson and Dr. Liz Stirling have collaborated on ‘The Den Project’ - a joint practice initiating the construction and inhabitation of spaces of creativity. They have invited people of all ages to participate in the design and making of temporary environments as a means of communicating that does not depend on one common language. Last year we shifted the focus of our practice, beyond den-making to empowering people through play in unique experiences.

cardboard built and demolished



I wanted to build a cardboard house that at least one person could sit comfortably in. Dan helped. Arthur pulled it apart.
Then we looked at all the different materials in the space.
Arthur and Dan built a tower.

last stand
we went after school to fill some time
and used i think for the last time all the
cardboard sheets paper boxes in a circular
design of tunnels, stepping stones, lookouts,
paper paths, and then played hide and secret.
I think with hide and seek it can work as a
ridiculous game when there are few hiding options
it becomes funnier
we hid in boxes, under sheets, behind a pillar or each other
edie wanted to make costumes so i propose next we have some
costume making materials
we finished with furry blueberry, vanilla giraffe and red icecreams

Tower Den




Energetic and focused Arthur used his time productively. He explored nearly all the materials and most of the space. He was interested in building a tall structure but his height and materials restricted him a little. He named lots of PARTS:CHIMNEY,BED,IGGLEPIGGLE,ROOF,GARDEN,PATH,WALL,FRIENDS...
He took a huge roll of printer paper and made a huge pathway all around the room.
He then jumped and danced around the room with the long strip of paper which gradually split into smaller parts and then wrapped the paper round and round a pillar and tucked it in like a bandage.
