Research-led Ecosystemic design that celebrates natural systems, investigates materials, interrogates extractive practices, amplifies interspecies creativity, and invites the public into conversations around ecology and climate with joy and curiosity.
Lily Consuelo Saporta Tagiuri runs a design and research studio between Paris and New York working at the intersection of ecology and public experience. I collaborate with institutions, cities, and organizations to create participatory installations and programs that engage audiences with food systems, water, and urban environments. My work translates complex ecological processes into tangible, social experiences that invite new ways of living with natural resources. She is a professor of material research, spatial design, and design for public space at Parsons Paris, Conde, and Strate.
Her work has been shown internationally, including at the Museum of the City of New York, MoMA PS1, NYC by Design, Extraperlo Madrid, and The London Design Biennale among others. Clients, partners, and collaborators include Emerson Collective, MINI, Clearwater, Studio Lily Kwong, Pen America, A/D/O, Invisible North, JW Marriott, Esperanza Spalding, Field meridians/ MOLD Magazine, and Generation Conscious. Reccent fellowships and residencies include the Alexander Von Humboldt Foundation, ATOPOS CVC, and High Desert Arts Test Sites. She currently teaches at Parsons Paris, CONDE, and Strate, and has taught at Pratt, Central Saint Martins MA Industrial Design, the Innovation Design Engineering Program at Royal College of Arts and Imperial College, and 1-5 in Korea.
