A MULTI DISCIPLINARY DESIGN PRACTICE. FORMED IN SOUTH LONDON, AND SINCE DISPERSED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WE ARE INTERESTED IN THE PHYSICAL (AND NON PHYSICAL) ENVIRONMENT, THE NATURAL LANDSCAPES THAT FORM AND EXIST, THE SOCIETAL TERRAIN THAT IS SHAPED AND GUIDED BY OUR POLITICS, THE LAND AND SPACES WE INHABIT AS COMMUNITIES AND PEOPLE AND THE ONES WE ACTIVATE TOGETHER AS A PUBLIC.
CURRENTLY WE ARE ELLA PERKINS, OWEN HODGKINSON, ANDREW THORPE, ROSS BENNETT, AND HANNAH FINCHAM (left to right photo lineup) A GROUP OF ARTISTS, THINKERS, ILLUSTRATORS, LANDSCAPE UNDERGRADUATE, DESIGNERS, COOKS, and MORE. WE USE OUR SKILLSETS TO ENGAGE AND CHALLENGE, MAKE AND BREAK, PUSH AND PULL, ASK AND PROPOSE, DESIGN AND ADAPT. WE'RE VERY PARTIAL TO THE COLOUR BLUE ;)

WE ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING NEW TOOLS, OR ADAPTING THOSE THAT ARE AVAILABLE. AS USERS OF TOOLS WE SHOULD QUESTION THEIR ORIGINAL DESIGN AND AGENDA AND CHALLENGE THEM REGULARLY ON THEIR USE OR CONTEXT IN THE PROBLEMS WE’RE TRYING TO SOLVE.
