Aurora

date and location: October 20th - November 14th, 2021, London Design Museum, UK

Experience an interactive installation created by Mamou-Mani Architects and the Dassault Systèmes Design Studio inspired by Upstream Thinking, a design approach that prioritises regeneration.

Aurora is an interactive experimentation of how we can achieve a more sustainable approach to life in the future: a world in which design, science and industry converge to ensure that everything we create and manufacture involves sustainability.

The installation signals the end of the take-make-waste era and the dawn of built environments conceived for regeneration.

With Aurora, visitors will be able to see modules being crushed, melted and reformed, demonstrating the continuous process of regeneration.

'It's crucial that designers start thinking beyond the timeframe of their projects, where the material came from, where it is going, how it can be reconfigured... the entire lifecycle needs to be taken into consideration. Aurora demonstrates that this is possible today, if only we adjust our thinking.' – Arthur Mamou-Mani
