FUTURE LIVES OF THINGS

In this project, me and my class mates had the opportunity to influence that future; to construct a human-scale structure from the materials we inherited from the past, and to show the results at the highest global level to the leaders who will make the decisions on our future.

The task was to develop through play and experimentation a stunning structure using chairs from the Studio which were going to be taken to the COP26 summit in Glasgow on the 11th November and assembled. The structure had to be both visually and formally striking and had to demonstrate the potential of reimagining approaches to using our existing materials to create a more sustainable future.

At first, we worked in groups to come up with different ideas. In the end, all groups together decided which was the structure that would be exhibited in Glasgow.
