GAARDEN Design-Build Workshop

Alongside Sharvaree Shirode and Abhishek Wagle, I organised a day-long design-build workshop for a community garden on the Architectural Association’s (AA) terrace. This initiative was part of the Winter 2024 lecture series we co-organised alongside three AA tutors called ‘Self Organised: New Models for Learning’, which focused on collaborative methods in architectural education, including feminist, queer and decolonial approaches. The garden – an ongoing project  – became a space to test ideas around collaboration, an informal gathering space and a place to grow food together. Built almost entirely out of recycled and found materials, the garden points toward new modes of building that embrace material cyclicality and reuse.
