Next part of my Phd is to explore a mobile studio. Plan is to design and build a space on the back of a 6x4 trailer that can function as a design studio, including a screen-printing station, bike fixing workshop and maybe even a sleeping space.

Timeframe has me looking at this being completed for mid june and a trip to Broken Hill for a 'For Real' community workshop. Working title for the project is 'trailer lab'.

This trailer was donated to me today and will be the basis of the prototype.
