Abundance, Arup
Above is the trailer for ‘Abundance’, a short design fiction film by Arup, set in a near-future London. The film follows a day in the life of a regenerative designer as they interact with the communities, technologies and systems that demonstrate what London might look like after a just, regenerative transition. The film should act as a disuesive tool for designers and practitioners to consider the role they play in our collective regenerative future.
Film viewings available on request.
