PADLab:
Post Anthropocentric
Design Lab
The design laboratory for the post Anthropocene in Shenkar enables individuals and groups to internalize nature’s perspective, imagine new possibilities for nature during and after the climate crisis, decode the meanings of these possibilities and communicate them to the public, educators, experts, and decision-makers.

Shenkar - Engineering. Design. Art.
A small snail that lives in rivers, often used as a way to measure water quality.
The absence of the freshwater snail is a sign of deteriorating water quality.
The snail can be anywhere between 9.6 and 20.6 mm. in length. The shells are medium-sized (up to 30 mm.), thick, hard and elongated. Some are smooth while others are sculpted.
As the snails’ population density grows, their shells become shorter and shorter, as a smaller, less dense population means less competition for food sources and therefore larger individual snails. The melanopsis praemorsa is vulnerable to pollution and droughts. How will the snail survive climate change?
