Responding to the expansive spaces of Desi gn Hub Gallery\, the exhibition features a large-scale installation \; &ndash\; designed by architects Simulaa \;&ndash\; containing geologic al and material samples with research works to visualise our relationship to time through material artefacts.

Presented alongside the interact ive structure are a series of creative and research-driven works from reno wned designers\, academics and artists. Their contributions engage with th emes of ecology\, energy and technology\, offering critical perspectives o n time-based thinking and the urgent need for new collective societal resp onses to environmental challenges.
