Dusts Catching

This workshop explores techniques for capturing and analyzing airborne dust, revealing its material presence and environmental significance. Through hands-on experiments and our Dusts Catcher Kit participants engage with filtration methods, surface sampling, and microscopic observation, transforming dust from an overlooked residue into a tool for understanding urban atmospheres.

Biopatina Workshop

This workshop examines the natural aging and transformation of architectural surfaces through organic interactions with the environment. Participants explore weathering patterns, microbial growth, and material alterations, reinterpreting stains, discolorations, and patinas not as decay, but as dynamic markers of time and ecological processes.

Light Catching

This workshop explores the hidden biodiversity of the urban night through direct observation of nocturnal insects. Through shared observation and discussion, the workshop encourages participants to recognise the diversity, behaviour, and ecological roles of species that usually remain unseen, fostering a deeper awareness of urban ecosystems and the fragile life that emerges after dark.
