Presentation of Survey Results

In July, our Live Laboratory team closely observed the area surrounding Building #2 on Vazha-Pshavela Street, gathering detailed information about how the space is currently utilized. Simultaneously, we conducted a survey among the residents of Building #2 to gather their insights and opinions on the future development of the space.
We are pleased to invite you to a presentation of these results on September 7th at 12:00 PM.

Attention! 

In August, the Living Lab office will operate on a limited schedule. Our space will be open to visitors on August 7, 14, and 21 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. In September, we will return with renewed energy and new events. In the meantime, you can visit our website, follow our Instagram page, and email us. 

Exploring Green Space Transformation

In late July, the Live Lab team conducted a study of the area around Building #2 in Vazha-Pshavela’s 6th Block to explore its potential transformation into a green space. With the help of volunteer students, we observed the parking arrangements and engaged with local residents through interviews and discussions.
