To stage the events, the project includes a small-scale design intervention. This will feature the design and construction of lightweight modular elements by London South Bank University students and Loughborough Farm volunteers. The units were designed to be easy to move and install, considering recycled and regenerative materials and techniques. They can serve as seating and planting elements, and when assembled, they can form a small-scale event space. The project was developed using a co-design strategy, involving the farm’s volunteers in the design and assembly process to ensure a participatory approach and offer practical skills for all participants, with the potential for creating future revenue streams for the farm. The prototype of the unit will be developed as an open-source blueprint based on CNC cutting technology. This will enable the creation of new structures, events, and activities. The final design outcome will remain on site to host the event and work as a prototype to support the exchange of practical knowledge.
