The Melbourne Design Festival features a number of exhibitons and events at Federation Square and Melbourne generally.One event is "In The Shed, an installation by design cooperative Moth Design, adding a DIY event with a difference to the Festival. Eight flat-pack sheds will be erected in Federation Square, each containing installations by different designers that reflect various perspectives and interpretations of DIY in Australia from past to present, such as instructions on how to ‘DIY’ your own life, to flat-packed DIY tools, packaged and ready to be constructed – once you’ve constructed the instructions. Moth Design will hold a free DIY Demonstration on the steps at Federation Square at 11am on Sunday, 10 July.
