Continuously Under Construction 2- Hostile Infrastructure
The second in a series of three projects. The conceptual emphasis is on inclusivity and the material is timber.
Continuously Under Construction 2 - a collaborative collective builds with Testing Grounds, These are the Projects We Do Together undertaken by Interior Design Students on their first day of university. In 2019 the students worked with the artist Bruno Booth to make the framework for his installation titled Hostile Infrastructure from 200 single lengths of 90 x 45mm timber. Booth uses a wheelchair, and his creative work focuses on exposing the anxiety and exclusion caused by urban space for people with mobility challenges.[i] Bruno spent the whole day working alongside the students, describing his daily experiences and answering their questions. This initial awareness of how spatial design can foster inclusivity and acknowledge diversity is reinforced in various ways over the year.
