London born Chandni Kumari graduated in 2012 from the University of East London with a BSc in Product Design.

 

Driven by the recognition of our planets depleting resources she engaged amongst other projects with hands-on research on how to utilise local materials otherwise destined for landfill.

 

Inspired by the traces of urban activity as well as the patterns and textures that define our urban landscape, Chandni identifies opportunities for sustainable processes and activities engaging locals and connecting us with our urban environment.

 

Her birdhouse proposals raise the awareness of how an urban waste material can be given a new purpose and be re-connected to the context of nature and its cycle.
