IUMO/V reimagines vertical transport in buildings. Closer to a train than an elevator, IUMO/V consists of an external track on the outside of a building with a pod that enables the tracks to curve over and around the form of the building.

How could residents customise their space organically? Discover more here: plplabs.com/ephemeral/ Ana Gatoo, from @CamNatMat, has used a technique called kerfing to make sheets of timber flexible, enabling them to be folded and bent.

As part of our partnership with the Fair Cities Platform, @citiesforpeople and the @CPCatapult hosted the 'Fair Cities: Race and Space' event.

Our experiments when designing in 3D using AR technology allowed us to apply this to Bankside Yards as part of the design project for @plparchitecture to understand the building height differences and opportunities. Learn more about our AR design tools: plplabs.com/ar-design-tools/…

Explore the profound implications of enabling physical spaces on individuals, particularly within the neurodiverse community. Our insightful 'Designing for Neurodiversity' report in collaboration with Centric Lab for the British Council for Offices sheds light on the following:

Imagine a city where the constraints of traditional transportation no longer define our landscape. Cars, trains, and lifts give way to a new mobility concept, IUMO. This fresh perspective raises intriguing questions about the city's evolution, architecture, and public spaces.

Oakwood Tower was a visionary concept for London’s first wooden skyscraper. The 80-storey timber-framed high rise showed an alternative future for London, offering a sustainable alternative to steel and concrete.

IUMO (Integrated Urban MObility) reimagines London’s proposed Crossrail 2 scheme, by replacing conventional trains with highspeed platoons of shared Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs) running in both directions in a single Crossrail tunnel.

With this amazing team, we’ll designing sets for the Grammy-nominated INALA: A Zulu Ballet. Together, our motto is “Cultivation, not Excavation”. sisters-grimm.co.uk/inala/ @EllaPietra
