Ten students from the University of East London present designs for a community workshop that aims to battle social exclusion in Dezeen's latest school show.
Called Shed Life, the group project forms part of the students' interior design master's course. The workshop, which will be built next year, is intended to be a creative space where local people of different generations can collaborate.
