Earth Light Marker – Act, Reflect & Shine

The Earth Light Marker, an augmented lamp post, uses real-time data to monitor environmental impacts and inform individuals about potential threats or healthy conditions in their surroundings, including Organism Rich Zones (ORZs).

Its intuitive colour-coded system enables quick assessment and encourages immediate action, with data shared with local councils for proactive management.

This design promotes biodiversity, accountability and sustainability, with councils rewarding communities by supporting efforts to enhance neighbourhoods and overall quality of life.

MY PAL’S A DJ

MY PAL’S A DJ – Is an advocate for the Glasgow Club Scene Ecosystem.

Is a brand that will re-imagine Glasgow’s Club scene by providing a platform for up and coming talent, raising awareness of the current struggles Glasgow and Scotland are currently facing within the scene.  This project explores the dimensions of a club space where it belongs, how it functions, when it takes place, why and who participates.

The club scene within Glasgow is more than the venues that contain its energy within them but the culture that is at the heart and evolves within our day-to-day lives. MY PAL’S A DJ re-imagines Glasgow’s Club scene by delving into the grassroots of the scene – the people and their evolving environment.

Glasgow has a vast amount of talent and a rich history of opportunity; the city’s people have designed what we know of the club scene today.

However, where are these people? Do you know where they are? What do they do during the day? What do they look like?

Just like the dancers, the audiences, the people who run the club scene that spawn at night, the city itself has two faces; it’s a matter of when and how we can show its true colours.

 

This is an invitation to support a platform that digs into the culture, not just the clubs – tapping into the energy, creativity, and duality of a city that lives both day and night.

All Being // Experience of Existence

Creating Future Experiences – Group Project

Our collective research gave us four key drivers informing our future world context; Full Circle Thinking, The Role of Scale in Creating Change, Human Growth at the Expense of Environmental Decline and Advancing Technologies vs Nature Based Solutions.

Our World Statement – Planetary Health Ecological 

To combat the previous world in 2025 where divide between humans and other beings reached a destructive peak, our eating experience presents a snapshot of the way forward with our collective symbiotic system we are striving for maintaining in 2035. In order to counteract the immense negative impacts humans had on the environment, drastic steps had to be taken to create balance, enforce and maintain kinship between beings and planet.

The All Being branch aims to provoke, engage and immerse citizens within a familiar moment where the unseen, the micro and the living become interconnected within all aspects of life in the Experience of Existence.
