  5. Hydroponic Playground

    "During the week of 15 to 22 September 2019, the El Warcha London team, composed of Benjamin Perrot and Inês Marques, came to El Warcha Tunis for a residency. Inês Marques, a trained designer specialising in water issues, proposed to develop a hydroponic project that would benefit the community of the Hafsia district, where El Warcha Tunis is located. The Tunis team prepared the groundwork upstream in order to initiate a dialogue with the inhabitants, but also to find the location of this hydroponic project. For several months now, the members of Warcha Tunis have been approached by the inhabitants of the building in which the workshop is located, in order to carry out a project in their courtyard. It therefore seemed interesting to us to offer them the hydroponic system in this space, which would be developed and co-realized with the living community."

  8. The Future of Walking

    How can we transform our activity to clean the air?

    London is regularly exceeding the legally binding pollution limits set by the EU. Whether commuting to work or school; jogging or walking; the noxious gases and particulates penetrate deep into our lungs posing a significant health risk.

    The Future of Walking is a dynamic footwear that directly filters the air at ground level through our shoes. As a concept it has the potential to not only raise awareness about the high levels of air pollution in London, but also to make a significant impact on the air we breathe.

    With a support of Makerversity, Variable, IFA - International Fashion Academy Paris and Material Driven.  

    Exhibited in Architects@work, Somerset House and London Design Week at The Future Laboratory
