Ava X. Design




PROFILE


Researcher, designer, and practitioner engaged in Environmental Architecture based in London. Drawing and sound-making are her primary tools, and she holds a strong interest in climate change and ecological justice—both in terms of investigation and visualization. She is driven by the unwritten scripts of the landscape.

Her recent work explores and challenges the notion of static yet ever-changing borders, edges, and frontiers—across social, territorial, technological, sonic, and ecological architectures—while tracing the circulatory relationships between human and non-human collectives.

If a catastrophe is things falling apart, then each episode of Anastrophe is a convergence — a moment of coming together. Through these walking conversations, we collect stories of key moments of changes in their practice, each one a marker of where our guests have been and where they’re heading next.
