As we explore themes related to our brief, we became increasingly interested in specific natural processes, such as seed dispersal. What was most insteresting in this was the role of human activity within these systems. In fact, some of our research found that seeds are often transported by cars in and out of cities along major roads.
Since nature doesn’t choose the means by which it travels, spreads and evolves, we ask what it means to be more conscious of these inter-related networks of human and non-human life. Furthermore, we are interested in how they can be designed for, to become part of our everyday considerations when experiencing our cities.
The short film wemade as a result helps explain and identify some of the possible mechanisms which could be incorporated into our ongoing design process.
