Emily: What role and/or responsibility do you think you and other designers have in terms of sustainability and contributing to green ventures?

AW: While we feel a sense of responsibility, we aren’t motivated by a grudging sense of duty or ideology, but rather by a general sense of wonder in the world. We try to instill that sense of amazement through our projects—the idea that sustainable design could mean a moonlit walk in the park.

    so… i’m a little curious as to how one safely harvests a crop in a building that’s intentionally being consumed from within…

    more importantly, is there a working contact for them? I’d love a folding pattern for the kayak, but they don’t seem to have a mail server ….

    The more I learn about this collective, the more impressed I am.
    Fairly simple, high concept projects, without a lot of fluff.
    More art than design really.

    Looking forward to more work from them.
    Thanks for posting this.
