The narrative follows the adventures of Alice Liddle as she mounts an expedition through the uncharted landscape within the family Victorian flat. Peering from beneath our heroine’s flights of fancy lie questions of an ecological bent, focusing on the impact of the environment on architecture rather than architecture on the environment. Is it conceivable for buildings to learn from nature and organic systems? And can banal interactions of flora in the domestic spaces be scaled up into engineered gargantuan edifices and hybrids landscapes of sustainable aspirations?
