Urban Lab Films

Equal By Design is a documentary film about equality, wellbeing and the UK housing crisis. Made with Lone Star Productions, it examines economic and housing inequality in the UK housing crisis, with contributors from the architectural profession, national charities, journalism and academia.
Structured in 3 parts, the film shows how the 17thc. Dutch philosopher, Baruch Spinoza’s theory of wellbeing and equality can be used to analyse housing and income inequalities, and how his ideas relate to post-war and current-day social housing design.
The film is funded by the AHRC and shot in the Netherlands, London, Oxford and Sheffield.
