China today is undergoing massive change. Constant Stream references the current state of China, its centuries of tradition contrasting directly to the fast-changing modern society with a vast potential to impact on global affairs. It also offers a mediated discussion around the barrage of social, political, environmental and economic issues that come out of China. Constant Stream aims to stimulate not only much needed dialogue between China and other cultures but also between diverse disciplines in order to provoke debate, raise social awareness, formulate encounters and facilitate understanding.

The background of a new BBC Media City built in Salford, has given the chance to reinterpret and update the current creative learning spaces, using the latest developments in social science, education, technology and architecture.

22CC is a futuristic environment that inspires and support learning trough interaction between pupils, nature and technology, a dream vision that will stimulate a debate among the educators, the BBC and the kids.

The proposal was developed during a three months collaboration with Sabine Fekete.
