The Game of Agency Part 1 Project 2025 Tehreem Zubair De Montfort University | UK This project reclaims a neglected floodplain on Wolsey Island, Leicester, transforming it into a democratic, multi-use civic hub that responds to the climate crisis, urban fragmentation, and the ethics of spatial agency. Informed by situationist theory, psychogeography, and the principles of climate sustainability, the proposal integrates a workspace-theatre, a participatory commons, a digital detox zone, and a seasonal innovation testbed, all designed to evolve through community involvement.The architecture works with the flood cycle, using regenerative reed planting, floating pods, debris-filled gabions, and adaptable timber tectonics. This is due to the site being a 3b flood zone and so serves the necessary purpose of redirecting water from the city. Sustainable strategies include mirror-based daylight redirection, modular construction using recycled plastic, and disassembly-ready detailing. The proposal foregrounds local materials, low-carbon foundations, and social reuse, creating a model of future civic infrastructure grounded in equity, participation, and care.Designed primarily for digital nomads and the surrounding community, the building operates like a game with spatial transitions driven by performance, debate, and co-creation. In rejecting static zoning, it enables an inclusive rhythm of work, play, and reflection. The architecture becomes a civic instrument and a testing ground for bottom-up governance culminating in a hopeful act of spatial repair. Tutor(s)
