Term I concluded with innovative proposals to transform the London Canal Museum into a prototype Cli-Lab, as a spatial manifesto towards a more sustainable London. Following the successful paradigm from the last two years, the Co-Production Workshop held with medical students from Im-perial College provided guidance from practitioners, clinicians, experts, and patient advocates for our group to consider how design affects our health and propose small-scale healthcare interventions in the public realm.

Ideas are explored through an array of techniques that include material research/testing and immersive technologies. The diversity of schemes and depth of speculation is indicated by a sampling of project descriptions and locations: ‘The Comfort Food Project: Transforming the disused Stamford Hill Bus Garage int
