Site: Cannikin, Amchitka Island, USA
Team: Victoria Yeo, Eujin Oh & Joanne Kim
Amchitka’s lost domestic wildlife is memorialised through the re-claiming of post-nuclear test fabric in an attempt to regrow the habitat. Addressing both the repercussions of the 1971 Cannikin underground nuclear testing and commercial exploitation, the ‘Manual of Regrowth’ leaves behind a distinctive and new connection between individuals, materials, and our environment.

Site: Shadwell Car Park, London, UK
‘Lighting Up Shadwell’ aims to celebrate the vibrant culture of the social housing residents, predominantly of Bangladesh descent, residing in Shadwell.
Through a workshop village the residents of Shadwell are provided with the opportunity to create decorations for the commonly celebrated light festivals of Diwali, Eid al-Fitr and Christmas. Along with the promotion of learning new making skills, the project addresses the general concern of dimly lit social housing by acting as a beacon in lighting up the area. The workshop village consists of a paper, clay, powder and sewing workshop for crafting decorations, complemented by an outdoor space for the festive rituals to take place.

Site: Epping Forest, London, UK
Epping Forest, renowned for its habitats of high conservation value and diverse array of vegetation, inspires the need for a dynamic educational space. The envisioned ‘Library of Botany’ seeks to reinterpret the conventional library concept, transforming it into a specialised haven for both visitors and botanists. This re-imagined setting not only invites visitors to immerse themselves within the forest, in a conducive learning environment, but also provides botanists with a dedicated space for research and experimentation in harmony with their natural surroundings.
