Double Sharp Experiments
© No Walls Studio 2021
A sensory dialogue on spaces (and life). Centered on humans. We curate these experiments to shape (and reshape) how we navigate, consume and define the world—all, in an effort to avoid same and push the boundaries of placemaking.

INSIGHTS on
space

Conversations with placemakers on the stuff that makes us human and the stuff that humans make.

Our places are everything. Our homes, communities, identities, hopes and aspirations. Join NWS for conversations with the people who turn space into place. The architects, artists, innovators, anthropologists, designers, musicians, developers, and planners who craft the culture, meaning and experiences that define our lives. People who are shaping the future by breaking the mold ... centering the built environment on human beings.
