“THE DRILL 2050” assesses the impact of city expansion on community livingconditions, through investigating the intense numbers of construction sitesaround auckland, and many planned ahead to respond to the recent FutureDevelopment Strategies 2050 annoucement made by the Auckiland Council.

Questioning the role of community members in the shaping of their future neighbourhood, the projects seeks to create a space where one can foresee thec hanges ahead of them, be apart of the change, and inspect the change that happen in the future. The performative installation takes place over a 4 weekperiod as a respond to the short timeframe offered for feedback and suggestions towards the FDS plan, hoping to raise voice from and with the community against the issues of city densification and over-expansion of city centres that do not take into account the consequences on the daily lives of civilians. The design hopes to serve as a model for potential future protests, to offer a transparent, structured, voice projection platform for those that wish to and should be part of the decison makings of the places they live in.
