Join artist and educator Zoe Allen, with RIBA Learning, to create your very own house on water. Will you use stilts? How will you make it waterproof? Is it a home for river and canal creatures as well as you? And most importantly, will it float?!听
Take inspiration from boats moored or moving along the Regent鈥檚 Canal. Then use recycled materials to design and make a solution for watery living. All before testing your creation to see if it floats. 听
