HAAM Cities

The internet is global. Design still happens somewhere.

City pages connecting local designers, studios, recurring events, and the cultural conditions that shape how things get made.

The live feed prioritises workshops, hackathons, build nights, studio visits, screenings, and gatherings where people are expected to participate.

Source layer

One network, many local calendars.

Public iCalendar feeds can power the live event layer, while city pages preserve slower knowledge about designers, studios, institutions, recurring festivals, and local context. Every imported event keeps its original source and registration link.
