Abundance

A film which makes regenerative futures tangible and combines research on sustainable futures and design as a research tool.

In terms of long-term impact of this project for the Foresight team and for Arup, I introduced design experiments as a methodology in the Foresight team to research and prototype beyond PDF reports.

I led a multidisciplinary team to explore regenerative futures through a speculative film while developing Regenerative Design report for Arup. I creatively directed the project and worldbuilding for the film, including hands-on and making of the stage sets and props.

The project was showcased as part of the London Design Festival at the V&A together with an exhibition exploring a day in a life of a regenerative designer in future London. Alongside the project, I curated a day of talks at the Global Design Forum with world-class experts such as Jo da Silva, Caroline Steele, Michael Pawlyn and Christopher Raeburn, which attracted over 450 participants on the day of a sold out event.
