Metropolitan Mutation is a conceptual model inspired by the iconic shopping district of Regent Street in London. Constructed by wood and craft materials, the design explores the tension between urban systems and organic growth, imagining a city where biological forms begin to overtake architectural structures. A window display appears to grow, spread, and spill out of the buildings onto the street, representing a living organism or bacterial colony rapidly expanding through the metropolis. Materials such as plastic beads and laser-cut wood with perforated patterns mimic the textures of microorganisms and reptilian, alien-like skin, while dripping resin and paint imitate sap-like substances seeping from the forms. Tea leaves mixed in resin function as window glass, reinforcing the biophilic nature of the concept and hinting to the merging of natural and man-made creations. Through this model, Metropolitan Mutation questions the boundaries between the built environment and living matter, transforming a familiar urban street-scape into a vibrant, evolving ecosystem.
