Sense of Place by Hoare Lea
Hoare Lea’s mixed-media showcase explores how different sensory environments impact our mental and physical wellbeing, and what we can do to regain agency and health amidst the bustle of everyday life.
Sense of Place by Hoare Lea
In 2021, Psychology Today reported that the average adult makes somewhere around 35,000 decisions each day. That breaks down to one decision every two seconds; how many of those choices are we really conscious of making?
Many of those choices may not even feel like there’s another option in our 24/7 hustle and bustle. Are we remembering to take breaks from our computers to stretch our legs and alleviate our eye strain, or are we stuck in virtual meetings from start to end of day? Are we able to cycle safely into work or are we trapped in a morning commute where the noise and air pollution levels are above those recommended by the WHO?
Hoare Lea present a mixed-media showcase that delves into the everyday decisions we make and what effect those sensory experiences and environments have on our minds and bodies.

The coast is a rare environment that simulates strong recollective experiences for all five senses – be it the taste of salty air or the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Ryder will use the beach as a lens through which to explore this year’s design through visual representation and the theme of sustainability, challenging ourselves to use a palette of materials that make use of the plastic waste that threatens our ocean habitats.
