Here is an Enscape walkthrough of my final project: a co-living building in the center of London designed for young professionals.

"The People's House: A White House Experience" is opening in Washington, DC this week. It's a 33,000 sq ft, three-floor interactive tech-powered experience designed to evolve over time alongside each presidency. This is interesting, and hopefully will help the attraction stay current vs. the stale animatronic Hall of Presidents experience from the past. Located less than a block from the actual White House, this is a collaboration between The White House Historical Association, Gensler, Ralph Applebaum Associates, and Cortina Productions. I understand the security precautions of building a separate attraction, and the scalability to make a visit more accessible to the greater public, but it's hard to think of another iconic building that could do the same. Imagine if a visit to the Empire State Building took place at a smaller replica down the block with only video views of the Manhattan skyline? It's unclear if one of the technology powered interactive experiences included a mini Zamboni to usher out guests who believe they have won the election and refuse to leave the building. I will definitely check this out the next time I'm in Washington, DC. It's great to see a modern experience applied to an educational and inspirational political environment. #ImmersiveExperience #InteractiveExhibits #ExperienceDesign #WashingtonDC #TechInMuseums #EducationalExperiences #PoliticalHistory #VisitorAttractions #CulturalHeritage #Gensler #RalphAppelbaumAssociates #CortinaProductions #WhiteHouse #AmericanHistory #ModernMuseums #ExhibitionDesign #DigitalInnovation #PresidentialHistory #HistoricPreservation #MuseumsAndTechnology #VisitorExperience #ExperientialDesign #InnovationInMuseums #DCAttractions #CulturalExperience #StorytellingThroughTech #MuseumTech #CivicEngagement #TechInEducation #ExperienceEconomy #CulturalInnovation #WXO #WorldExperienceOrganization "Home - The People's House"

We are thrilled to announce that The Quiet Enchanting — our installation along the Strand originally only on view until Spring 2024 — has been extended well into the autumn. So if you are planning on heading into central London this summer, we’d urge you to go spend some time exploring the characters and questions that emerge from our myth. The Quiet Enchanting is situated at the heart of the now pedestrianised Strand Aldwych; once one of London’s most congested and polluted streets, it is now home to a ‘creative thinking quarter’ for the King's College London community and the wider public. So when Beatrice Pembroke, Executive Director of King’s Culture, suggested the possibility of showcasing some of our findings from our research residency Cascade Inquiry in the form of a public installation along the Strand… well, we were delighted. Even more delighted to also share an accompanying film edit of the work, with a specially commissioned score by our long term collaborator David Vélez. Designed as a poetic accompaniment to the work, our short film showcases the work throughout the seasons, the many people who have wandered by, wondered what could be different, imagined other ways to be. On our website we also share a little more of the inspirations behind and research underpinning our worldbuilding: https://lnkd.in/ghUtrvzh If we had to pick a single statement to encapsulate The Quiet Enchanting it would be, well, not a statement at all, but a question: "How can we rewild ourselves?" A rewilding of the spirit is perhaps the most urgent transformation we need, and then, maybe only then, can we effectively rewild, and transform, the world around us. #rewilding #imagination #publicinstallation

Urban hospitality: what does it entail, for whom, and why does it matter? This was the central question of my keynote lecture for the Public Space Academy. Based in Bologna, the Academy is the first, free, interdisciplinary educational program aimed at establishing a new approach to urban complexity built around public space. My lecture dealt with how cities like to present themselves; as open and inclusive, with their public spaces accessible to everyone - residents or visitors. As welcoming urban environments where everybody has the opportunity to participate in public life and can go about safely. In short, they promote themselves as hospitable cities. But what exactly does this mean, and for whom? Many cities are welcoming to some but experienced as hostile by others. As a result of overblown gentrification processes, marginalised groups are often driven out of the city and, consequently, out of its public spaces. This is reinforced by defensive urban design strategies such as hostile architecture. The lecture explores the multi-faceted concept of urban hospitality morally, philosophically, and spatially. Who has which right to the city? How can design choices undermine or fortify the sense of welcome in public spaces? Moreover, the concept of urban hospitality is expanded to encompass the other-than-human. In light of the worldwide loss of natural ecosystems and declining biodiversity, it is crucial to green cities in such a way that urban biodiversity is enhanced. A nature-inclusive approach to the design of public spaces is pivotal to achieving this. You can watch the recording of the lecture below (free, in English).
