In his 2009 award‐winning design thesis project for the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), Pascal Bronner evokes the imaginary land of New Malacovia. Using an existing text as a catalyst, and graphite as the sole medium, Bronner transforms the inventions and urban ideas of an original fictionalised city afresh into a speculative environmental programme: a potato‐fuelled miniature city is laid out on foundations of bottle corks.
