In light of the global ecological and existential crisis, this speculative project seeks to safeguard brownfield sites across London as vital spaces for non-human inhabitation and increased biodiversity. More than this though, the project sets in motion a practice positioning the architect as a mediator between the human and non-human worlds. Striving for the integration and symbiosis of these two disparate worlds, the project is less concerned with finding architectural resolve, believing this to be impossible, and instead calls for the architect to embrace uncertainty in partnership with the processes of ecological succession; challenging the architect to think in extended periods of time regarding the succession of the material and social structures we put in place.
