Abstract

Design studios are ecologies of relations, the coming together of things through time: project sites, overlapping contexts, academic buildings, drawing boards, digital devices, students, tutors, coffee, design briefs, materials, ideas, deadlines, conversations and dreams, intermesh in the pursuit of possible futures. Every human and more-than-human entity in design studios has its role to play as associations are formed, tensions established and imbalances found. In this chapter, we explore experimental design as productive relations between design studios at the University of Greenwich’s School of Design, design projects developed by students, and situated (and contextualised) challenges such as the climate crisis. There are a few unique offerings university education can give to professional landscape architecture practice. In this chapter, we argue that experimental design studio, as a throwntogetherness of place for learning and inventing new approaches to design, is the most important of these. At Greenwich, we consider design studio as a throwntogetherness of place where knowledge is generated through recognising patterns, negotiating conflicts and highlighting contradictions; where project trajectories work productively from these tensions; and where the speculation of new worlds come together in design proposals.
