Lockdown grinds on, and so if you cannot reach the UK’s green spaces, then why not have Britain’s wild landscape come to you? From June, Londoners will have access to a small forest in the centre of the city after Es Devlin, the designer and artist who has collaborated with Kanye West and Lady Gaga, announced an ambitious new project to mark the opening of the upcoming London Design Biennale this summer.
Devlin is the artistic director of the Biennale, and her centrepiece design for the event, entitled
Forest For Change, will take the form of a temporary urban wood comprising 400 trees from 23 species native to Northern Europe and the UK (at the end of the biennale, they will be rehomed). The forest will take metaphorical root in the central courtyard of Somerset House on the Strand, the famous neoclassical building that is home to the Courtauld Institute of Art and other arts and culture organisations; by greening the otherwise stark Palladian space, Devlin’s centrepiece fo

The green landscape will be installed in Somerset House’s courtyard and will later be “rehomed”.
Screenwriter Richard Curtis, whose not-for profit agency is working on the project, said the forest is designed to “make something truly beautiful that would communicate our vision of a better, fairer world”.

Es Devlin’s Forest for Change – The Global Goals Pavilion, created in partnership with Project Everyone for London Design Biennale, will cover Somerset House’s central square with 400 trees in a bid to spark debate on the path to a better world
When Es Devlin first visited Somerset House, something attracted her attention: ‘I discovered that the Enlightenment principles on which the building was conceived specifically forbade the introduction of trees into the courtyard,’ she recalls. So naturally, as soon as she was able to leave her mark on the historical London venue, the first thing she had in mind was to plant a forest in it.
