Sometimes big things come in small packages.
That’s the idea behind “MicroDwell 2014,” the second installment of an architectural exhibition dedicated to tiny spaces. The collection features nearly a dozen designs. Each must be less than 600 square feet, tending to hover closer to 200, self-contained, and portable. Created by Patrick McCue, whose own contribution is a 1920s steam-shovel-turned-pizza-oven, “MicroDwell” hopes to influence both designers and homeowners about the economic and sustainable advantages of less-is-more housing.
The builders and volunteers — who range from architects to third-year design students — will be on-hand from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each weekend through Sunday, March 23, to answer questions and discuss their dwellings with the public.
See the world in miniature by appointment from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 27, at the Shemer Art Center, 5005 East Camelback Road. Admission is $5. Visit www.microdwelling.net or www.shemerartcenter.org for more.
