Design with VR
Ecological / Economic / Social
As demonstrated by these studies, we work from fabric-first
principles, exploring the use of local, low-processed, “primitive” materials
that enable us to engage with the surrounding artisans. From here, we
collaborate in re-imagining these traditional processes into a contemporary fabric
– sustaining the community’s economy. Similary, within a sensitive
socio-ecological environment such as Berkhamsted, Virtual Reality has enabled us
to invite local authorities and planning officers to experience our designs at
scale within the accurately modelled context of the site (e.g. edge of
settlement, open countryside, etc.). We have had many a great experience watching
planning officers better understand our proposals in VR and really engaging with
the proposal.
Kirkland Fraser Moor have supported the D-Lab mentoring and education programmes delivered to the Hackney, West London communities. In particular we have run weekly VR lessons for the A level design & art students at Chobham Academy. Liberating creativity from the steep learning curves normally associated with traditional CAD and design software has allowed students to rapidly iterate and develop their design concepts.
