Design Studio 1

This year’s design studio focuses on the potential territorial functions among industries, human communities, and habitats created by non-humans such as animals and plants, along with environmental memory.

The project site selection is confined to Channelsea Island, nestled between Bow Creek and the River Lea in London. The area will be examined through the lens of visual cultures and the interplay of various layers, whether overlapping or symbiotic.

At the chosen site, will investigate how water infrastructure can be modified to optimize benefits for both human and non-human communities. Design solutions may encompass new forms of nature, as well as fixtures and fittings that integrate the social aspects of the location.
