Better Living is an optimistic exhibition in which we ask artists, designers and architects to share their visions of contemporary urban style and their insights of new models for how we live. The responses will take shape in model suites, an exhibition created in the style of furniture store showrooms or Wheel of Fortune showcases. Here, lifestyle solutions will be arranged into rooms or spaces that will demonstrate how each could and should become a better part of our lives.
