Dezeen Space: JAILmake Studio will pack seeds and soil into bricks using their one meter by one metre factory at Dezeen Platform at Dezeen Space today

The Brick Replacement Service produces bricks from the seeds of wildflowers, trees, grasses and herbs packed into clay and soil.

The bricks fit into holes in existing walls, or can be used to build new structures. As the seeds grow, an array of plant life sprouts from each block.

The bricks are available to buy from Dezeen space until 16 October.

Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here. There’s more about Dezeen Space here.

Today at Dezeen Platform: Stewy	Today at Dezeen Platform: Roger Arquer	Today at Dezeen Platform: C.A.N

Dezeen Screen: in this movie filmed at Dezeen Space, London footwear designer Victoria Spruce talks about her collection of sculptural shoes, exhibited at Dezeen Platform last week. Watch the movie »

Dezeen Space: visitors to Dezeen Space today can stand on Dezeen Platform installation to create a soundscape by linking hands with others. 

A sensor in the base sends signals to a speaker playing a combination of tracks. When people link hands (0r any other body part for that matter) the signal intensifies, increasing the volume, length and layers of sound.

The presentation is an adaptation of LingJing Yin‘s Touch*Play project, presented at Show RCA this summer and developed in collaboration with fellow Royal College of Art student Mark McKeague.

They previously developed toys to help autistic children explore and a mat that uses the same technology for dance performances (shown here).

LingJing Yin worked with designer Ting Chung Jessica Cheng to design the sound for this adaptation at Dezeen Platform.

Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.

Dezeen Space: east London street artist Stewy joins us at our micro-exhibition Dezeen Platform at Dezeen Space today.

His work focusses on an A to Z of indigenous British animals, created in no particular order.

His imagery has progressed from small black and white pigeons, first made in 2007, to his most recent work, a 6ft high white horse.

Stewy will stencil an animal onto the plinth, then exhibit the framed stencil on top.

Stewy’s work can be found in London, Brighton, Hastings, Birmingham and Manchester.

Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.
