Archifest 2025 round table sharing session: “don’t (just) think like an architect”

SPARK Architects’ Beach Huts was presented at Archifest 2025, exploring how architecture can transform discarded ocean plastics into playful coastal shelters.

Beyond Buildings: Architecture as a Catalyst for Social Innovation

Architecture, at its best, is a social act.

Some of our most meaningful projects weren’t born from briefs or awards, but from questions. Questions about food waste, sanitation, aging, and ecological loss—issues that sit outside conventional client demands but are central to how we live together.

From SPARK’s playful Big Arse Toilet and BARE (Bio-Anaerobic-Rubbish-Eater), to the cautionary 3 Little Pigs, the intergenerational model of HomeFarm, and the youth-driven Beach Hut, each project is modest in scale but ambitious in spirit. They explore how design can provoke, educate, and create public joy while addressing urgent social and environmental challenges.

We share them not as finished answers, but as open provocations and reminders that the smallest projects often pose the biggest questions.
