Seascapes from Shells - Melbourne Design Week

Seascapes from Shells is a presentation of contemporary nature-based designs that respond to the design of urban seascapes. During this event contemporary practitioners will share their research into the design of aquatic infrastructures and present some recent works. The location of Queen Victoria Market seeks to bring these ideas to a new audience as well as attract interested members from the design community. In addition to the presentations, we will observe shell waste from the market and consider the inefficiency of this high-quality material (calcium carbonate) going into landfill. The informality of the setting seeks to promote open dialogue between the designers and the audience. There will also be the opportunity to share some food together as we gather to talk.
