Speculative Materials Workshop – STEAMhouse, Birmingham

As part of a collaborative team, I co-delivered the Speculative Materials workshop at STEAMhouse alongside facilitators Sarah King and Blast Studios. This intensive three-day event brought together artists, architects, scientists, and industry experts to imagine urban environments 80 years into the future and develop material responses grounded in sustainability. Working with local Birmingham waste streams, participants crafted experimental biomaterials through hands-on techniques and advanced tools, including robotic arm 3D printing.

The workshop encouraged bold, interdisciplinary thinking and future-facing design, culminating in the Future Landscape Pop-Up Exhibition, where participants showcased speculative concepts and material innovations reimagining architecture's role in a climate-conscious world.
