Design for Nature and Community: In Conversation with Will Nash

Explore Nash’s visionary approach to sculpture, ecology, and design. Known for creating ‘Habitable Sculptures’, Nash makes work that invites both people and wildlife to share space, reflecting his belief that art can help shape a better world by connecting humans with nature.  

During the discussion, Nash will share insights from his concept and design process for this commission. Inspired by the University of Sussex campus (Sir Basil Spence’s architecture and the landscaping principles of Dame Sylvia Crowe), Nash will create an integrated public artwork that functions as sculpture, habitat, and communal space created for all to enjoy. 

A unique opportunity to learn about the vision behind the University’s West Slope public art commission, whether you’re passionate about art, architecture, or the natural environment.
