Research
Research Interests and Projects
Edward’s research focuses on designing within the Anthropocene for more than human regenerative speculative futures. Centring on world building, projects explore novel production and distribution practices, material developments and application using advanced manufacturing approaches. Selected portfolio projects include algae factory, positing food zero impact cultivation and distribution, a temporary audio visual installation communicating a series of works focusing on design in the Anthropocene.
Utilising a range of visualisation strategies, Edward is verse in CAD/CAM, visualisation and programming environments, and has designed, engineered and fabricated a unique drawing machine to explore and interrogate new approaches to representation of work.
Professional Engagement
Edward had successfully worked within EU funded international projects Interreg developing new haptic and visual interfaces for networked communication. He is currently working on the development of ERDF match funded product development of his drawing machine to create prototypes ready for a future product launch.
