Haptera Design works at the intersection of ecology and design to address challenges found across urban waterways and aquatic environments.

With a focus towards novelty, the studio traverses between speculation and practical approaches of design to address opportunities for biodiversity to thrive in aquatic systems and the relationships formed as a result.

The studio moves fluidly between design research, practice and ecoliteracy to explore the social, technological and ecological dimensions of the environments that projects touch upon.

Grounded in a systems led approach, our work considers the nature of the relationships formed through our work, visualising and speculating on the potential impact of the work that we do at a variety of scales and systems.
