Year 1

This project imagines a dystopian future for London where the only nature left in the city is preserved in the conservatory of the Barbican. By embodying different natural forces such as clouds, rain, and wind, the player uses weather systems to reverse London’s environmental disaster, by greening the city and cleaning the air.
