Security and Trespassing in the City is a programme from the WORKSHOP series, as part of The Substation's Discipline The City 2017 programme.The more property and possessions people amass, the more there is the desire to secure and guard these against trespassing and theft. Yet how much confidence can people place in security mechanisms to keep themselves and their property safe? This workshop consists of two parts: the first examines how the fear of trespassing has influenced how we read, design, and inhabit our built environment; the second unpacks the role of the lock as the symbol and act of security.This workshop is open to all. All participants will receive a lockpick and training lock set.Programme7:30pm - 8:30pm: Yvette KohHow has the fear of trespassing influenced the way we read, design, and inhabit our built environment?
