2 Collaboration Exeter have asked us to produce a kill curve through the open trons. For Sorbonne university one of our architectures provided them with a visualisation of their concept. Warwick was our third collaboration, we sent their team water samples. These Collaborations are detailed here.

3 Human Practices We contextualised our Human Practices, within the Newcastle City Council plan to make Newcastle into a 'Smart City.' We have proposed an additional scenario to those already outlined, one concerning sustainable agriculture; an urban farm inside the Victoria Tunnel which runs underneath the city. This conceptual design project forced us to think carefully about the safety regarding GMOs when used in contained environments. Before designing the urban farm, we spoke to: local farmers, several commercial urban farms, a social food enterprise and a research director. We used this design exercise to bring together all that we learned from our comprehensive stakeholder engagement
Gold
1 Integrated Human Practices This design exercise outlined in the silver criteria integrates / was informed by all elements of our project: stakeholder engagement, wetware, hardware, and safety. Once we had consulted the relevant stakeholders and felt we had sufficient information we began to feed this in to the design and execution of the project. We have document on our wiki how our project has been influenced by our Human Practices work. See our integrated Human Practices journey here (link).
