Designed Ecology explores the role of design in shaping eco-centric. Through a combination of design research and design practice, Designed Ecology attempts to unpack the often fraught relationship between humans and nature in cities and urban spaces.

Abundance, Arup





Above is the trailer for ‘Abundance’, a short design fiction film by Arup, set in a near-future London. The film follows a day in the life of a regenerative designer as they interact with the communities, technologies and systems that demonstrate what London might look like after a just, regenerative transition. The film should act as a disuesive tool for designers and practitioners to consider the role they play in our collective regenerative future.

Film viewings available on request.
