“Migra-Topia: Transient Urbanisms in a Time of Hyperconsumption”




Set in 2050, this project aims to draw attention to the ever growing issue of hyperconsumption.The project taps into Nevada's vast lithium reserves, seeking to create a self-sufficient mining operation rooted in transience, lavish wastefulness and an overall disregard for the environment. Migra-Topia is by no means a desirable outcome, but rather forces one to rethink habits of consumption. The embodiment of this is a future that runs unhinged characterised by excess.
