Unidentified Facility took part in the London Design Biennial DESIGN IN AN AGE OF CRISIS 2021. With the project Spaces of Arrival was shown in the online gallery and Chatham House. Set out to find solutions to critical problems across four key areas: Health, Environment, Society and Work. As part of London Design Biennale at Somerset House and the online gallery, Chatham House is hosting this season various event series discussion the briefs.
As part of the brief Environment the work Spaces for Arrival is asking questions to explore new practices in design that are more grounded within nature. ‘What can we learn from the garden as a doorway to nature to become a more life-giving design practice?’ Gardens can be a wild mediated space, allowing us to connect to the natural cycles of giving life, through natural elements, seasons, body, mind and psyche. Through this nature-based learning we can inform a more sustainable, collaborative, and empathic design practice.
Spaces for Arrival is searching for this participatory creation to develop design methodologies and tools that stimulate becoming part of living processes: Learning to tend to nature and being tended by nature.
