Hi, I'm Zara! At MSA Live, I’m looking forward to designing an engaging space that showcases the importance of the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, particularly creating an interactive environment for children. With experience in community and residential projects and user-focused design, I’m excited to contribute to a meaningful proposal and meet new people.

Project Description: Petri of Play is a proposed collaboration between MSA Live Group 03 and The University of Manchester, to bring community, nature, learning and play to the area outside Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. Our site is currently tucked away from the main road, disconnected from its surroundings and subject to vandalism. Together, we aspire to create a space for people of all ages to enjoy, somewhere to sit, with planting and interactive educational displays showcasing the work of Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. We hope to collaborate with a local primary school to educate on topics such as biodiversity and climate change, through the medium of play.
