Being purposeful and playful in design
Join this interactive design workshop with design agency Bond and Coyne to look at how good problem solving should balance purpose and playfulness. The session will include design process advice and exercises to help keep your project outcomes exciting as well as pertinent.
Stewards of place and planet
How might we create design proposals that do ‘more good’ rather than ‘less harm’, nurturing and adding value to the living systems our work sits within? Join this interactive workshop, in collaboration with Philipa Duthie, to adopt a regenerative approach and reconnect with ourselves, our communities, the places we live, and our planet.
Design for Culture and communities
How can you build meaningful engagement with communities, build insights and apply this to your design interventions? Join this community building workshop, in collaboration with Parvinder Marwaha, to adopt approaches to designing collaboratively with value.
Visit Kew Gardens
Visit Kew Gardens for a free talk and tour to learn about the nature-based solutions and the joy of protecting the environment and strengthening communities. This will be followed by advice and time to further explore the gardens independently.
Please note - registration does not guarantee attendance.
