The Green Design Challenge at LCI
To coincide with Garden State, LCI Melbourne and The Plant Society have collaborated on a design experiment exploring new intersections between plants, design, art, spatial design and craft. The collaboration presented the challenge for LCIM students, staff, alumni and the public to reimagine their world through biophilic design principles and celebrate the vital role plants play in the art of living.
The outcome from this project is a series of design propositions including models, concept drawings, installation artwork ideas and a large scale collaborative collage capturing the collective ideas developed throughout the project. During Garden State the public are invited to visit the gallery on 30 April to discover the outcomes of the collaborative work and explore our green inspired campus.
