Abstract [en]
Using a historical practice I wanted to showcase an approach to sustainability that is intrinsicly site specific. The broad approach was to explore how a historic practice could be reintroduced, or encouraged to develop in line with our contemporary eco-conscious outlook on design.
The practice was Vraicing, local to the island of Jersey. The collection and treating of seaweed to be used as fertilizer on fields.
The design aimed to celebrate the history and the culture of the practice and Jersey while also working as a production space to supplement the process.
