The new design intent was to forge an authentic connection with a globally considered modern consumer while respecting the rich heritage of the R.M Williams brand. The core message of the design was ‘inspired by the past, relevant to the future’ which was evident and crucial to the design; it became the bridge between the new and old customer and was articulated as a subtle synthesis in the design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531f7222e4b09b47893ba01e/1533907045152-5LKLEQC41TV0J6K5LXQS/20170707_181829.jpg Projects - MANIFESTO We reference the Nijiri-guchi, the crawl-through entrance of the Japanese tea house. Anecdotally, the low entrance meant everyone entered the room in a humble posture. Although society was built of strict hierarchies, everyone was equal in the tea house. To the extent that our discourses are in our hands, what will we make of them? As liberalism, social democracy, and its related ideals are challenged by the authoritarian right and left, will we go forward in a posture of humility? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531f7222e4b09b47893ba01e/1533917974873-QG2PIPTGUERHBZCA73W4/IMG_1938+BW.jpg Projects - Manifesto The moment Brexit arises so does a sense of confusion, on what are the actual implications of this decision, some may think of this a moment of freedom whilst others look at is an act of wrong doing. Throughout the history of migration, many cultures that came to Britain have been accepted as well as turned away. In today’s society, we’ve seen a shift back to the ideals that have once divided us, there is a sense of unity that is needed not only in Britain but across the world. My Victorian building is suitably located in Bricklane the epicenter of London’s migration story. As auteur of this ‘promenade style’ experience I look to explore the sensory potential of architecture as a vehicle for communication media. The visitor experience is time based and is both collective and singular; environments are media rich, controlled, compressed, opened, hot/cold, connect as vertical devices, even penetrate the walls to the exterior street. The narrative arc is perverse, at the beginning visitors enter the border and as a finale they are preparing to enter the border. Time has been manipulated as I encourage a discourse of uncertainty on the future that we face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531f7222e4b09b47893ba01e/1594298099203-YJZ7BLFMM5HITQ779OUZ/image-asset.jpeg Projects - MANIFESTO The paintings are a starting point for an exhibition that focusses on daily life and the social and political landscape in London. 286 years after Hogarth’s moral tale, social and cultural changes present a different set of circumstances and social conditions for people navigating life in contemporary London with growing issues of poverty and inequality alongside changes in social spaces including the clearing and cleansing of public space to the competition to be heard online. Building on the theatricality of Hogarth’s staging of the Rake’s encounters in the city, visitors will move through and around a series of rooms or platforms, public and private spaces, both physical and psychological, - from the erosion of public spaces to the mass media and online culture where exchanges are anonymous. A collaboration with Felix Graf Built by: William Floyd Maclean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531f7222e4b09b47893ba01e/1551967085812-9YA6MJUE816JM9HID0MM/GH+1.jpg Projects Working with Bloomsbury Opera we looked to develop a narrative that would fit the contemporary interpretation of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte, in the intimate setting of Goodenough College. The interpretation of the Opera is to be set in a culinary academy, to be proposed as a school of lovers. This is to be a temporary instillation for two shows. Looking at the relationship that coexists between love and food, there were many elements that can symbolize love in the act of cooking. Symbolizing the plate is the stage, elements that come onto it are the spices and ingredients to the dish. Utilizing polycarbonate to give an element of transparency, and juxtapose the history and ornamentation of the great hall. Projections were used as an aspect of storytelling and to change the scenography during the performance with out scene changes.

His passion to push himself and his practice to the edges of the discipline, a bold collaborative enthusiasm which is clear in his ability to bring together cross-disciplinary teams (artists, designers, musicians urban planners and curators) to explore and design new relationships between real places and live experiences. His passion is underpinned by significant skills across a multitude of disciplines, this ability as ‘conductor’ and ‘integrator’ being critical to his practice. We see Devan embracing a complex design challenge with great flexibility and confidence, steering the group endeavour towards an innovative layering of channels and mediums that tell a deeply compelling story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531f7222e4b09b47893ba01e/1424751401326-BFVMTM6FSWY7JQZPYS5P/10805579_10154839506620424_7011551693592758935_n.jpg Bio http://www.devanskuban.com/read-me-forte daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1377616053602-SMX7MP0YBIW91I0BIW2R/MECO+%2820130827%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51e6b9c9e4b050adffbe392c/1377616058866-XDBA3BE26TPEK3SCRT9J/Screen+Shot+2013-08-27+at+11.06.39+AM.jpg Read Me http://www.devanskuban.com/about-forte daily 0.75 2025-05-12
