The Designers’ Dreamscape was a headline installation at designjunction 2018. The installation supported the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, whose aim is to inspire and enable young people to study and qualify as architects. The Designers’ Dreamscape related to Stephen’s unrealised dream to become an architect, and provided an inspiring space in which design tools were unlimited and creativity could flourish. The installation included a soundscape, responsive lighting and a bespoke blended fragrance to elevate the experience. Designed using acoustic components, the installation provided an unexpectedly calm and comfortable enclosed space, with a focus on light, sound and scent to create an atmosphere conducive to creative thought. The ceiling was expressed as a series of shallow acoustic cloud domes, below which full height coffered walls displayed tools for drawing. At the centre of the space, stools surrounded a 6m long table with inlaid scale bars which offered a social space for experimentation and discussion, while two circular booths offered more private spaces for meetings and mentoring sessions.
