In 1969, the Apollo 11 Moon expedition shifted humanity’s perspective back to Earth, highlighting its abundance of life and natural beauty. Yet, decades of human activity have transformed lush ecosystems into barren landscapes. Even in neglected urban spaces like a Southwark car park, nature endures—flowers push through cracks, insects thrive beneath concrete, and animals seek refuge in crevices.

 

A Rest for the Pests proposes a co-working environment that fosters coexistence between humans and wildlife, reimagining the city as a constructed landscape of natural and artificial symbiosis. Over time, this vision evolves into Living a Wildlife Proposal, a thriving hub of biodiversity and resilience.
