MA work

I have spent the last year looking at the larger systems that design operates in, to develop a clearer understanding of the impact of our decisions. Through this I hope to gain a greater sensitivity to the impacts of our design work and find alternatives to our inherited design practices that do not have a place in our future.

Embodied explores the embodied energy represented in our material world, how we understand it, how we interact with it and, ultimately, how we can live with less of it.
