Ilycia Laverty is the founder of IL, an independent design practice exploring architecture, interiors and regenerative design.
Her work is informed by natural systems, material intelligence, ancient craftsmanship and emerging ideas that encourage a more connected relationship between people, place and the living world.
With a background in architectural design, Ilycia is interested in the spaces between disciplines, exploring how science, intuition, geometry, materials and the environments we inhabit can inform one another.
Through IL, she is developing a design approach that considers architecture not simply as shelter or object, but part of a living system, responsive, relational and evolving.

Showcase
Luxcity - Archrobatics
Luxcity was a large scale fabrication studio with the purpose to produce a city of light for a one night event at the Festival of Transitional Architecture (FESTA) in Christchurch.
The overarching strategy was to use light
in conjunction with large scale demolition machinery to create structures that
are both ephemeral and contend with the vastness of the urban scale.
Key challenges for the design included scale and the expected large number of visitors in conjunction with transportability, quick
assembly and suitability for an outdoor environment.
