Ex-Site Department
The Ex-Site Department is a playful concept created by Alex Garkavenko and Adelle Lin that uses physical games and other immersive experiences to promote the discovery of architecture and urban space. With the broader objective of raising public curiosity in the built environment, the games explore quirks and underlying narratives of existing spaces to engage a broad range of audiences. As an alternative to static exhibitions or guided walking tours, organic discovery becomes a tool to ignite passion about the spaces around us.
