The strategy – fiction as a tool for awareness – reconfigures the European Union by protecting the Mediterranean Sea, and encourages an alternative participatory democracy. Inspired by Roald Dahl’s George’s Marvellous Medicine (1981) and the ways of seeing provided by George and children from EU states and North Africa, the architecture examines the thresholds between ideology and pragmatism when engaging with nature, landscape and weather, with the aim of eroding politics and geography. Environmentally-friendly ingredients including salt, eggs, plant pigment, bees wax, peas and olive oil are cultivated to protect water safety and equality for all. Looking towards the unconventional, the architecture is designed to be a series of delightful learning experiences (in a similar way to a Dorling Kindersley book), in which knowledge is delivered by inspiring curiosity and play. In this synthesis of responsibilities and innocence, children are the champions of their own sustainable future, adapting the core message of love and hope for the EU.
