Current PhD research is titled ‘Confronting Mobius: Landscape as Continuum’ and investigates through discourses surrounding complexity and chaos theory, landscape as a temporal continuum and spatial infinity. This research explores design methods that investigate the potential of design to ‘curate’ and continually (re)organise time and space. What can a different set of criteria, another way of differentiating offer to the experience of the landscape? Through a series of built and speculative projects the research seeks to consider alternative understandings of the role of both the designer and the occupier in the continual reorganisation of space and time.
Urban [Di]Versions is a set of built, 1:1 scale design interventions in Sparks Lane and nearby ‘hidden leftover spaces’ which seek to shift the spatio-temporal organisation and public engagement with each site. The project aims to explore the potential of these sites to reconstruct our imaginings of the city, to challenge our assumptions, disturb our urban routines and to evoke a sense of play.
The map will be updated daily as new installations are added throughout the week. There will also be a poster series distributed throughout the city from Thursday.
