This project was a collaboration between MA Creative Practice for Narrative Environments, MA Industrial Design CSM, UAL and the Welcome Trust.
The students produced a series of design concepts to help them to engage the public with concepts and ideas about science and its social contexts. While focussing on the key content of ‘brain, bone, brawn, blood, breath’ the Trust invited the students to challenge and extend the brief in terms of potential locations, types of structures (potentially reducing or even eradicating the need for an architectural structure altogether) and focus on the visitor experience of science.
The purpose of this concept-driven project was to gain insights, provoke discussion and to excite interest from sponsors or planners who will be key to its realisation.
The selected ideas were part of an evening event that was held at Wellcome. The event was attended by invited guests from science, education, media and sports with the aim of exploring how the programme might develop, and to stimulate thinking around experiments.
