● Ingredient
Supporting Our Ecology Through Movement

About
Ingredient at DOG—a philanthropic event supporting our local ecology through motion and community. 

Landscape’s project space, DOG, raised over $5,000 for Save the Bay by hosting a three-week-long fundraiser that culminated in a walk, run, and bike ride in San Francisco during August of 2023.

Save the Bay is a non-profit on a mission to protect and restore the San Francisco Bay—one of the most precious natural resources in the Bay area that provides habitat, food, protection, and beauty for people and wildlife.

Ticket holders received a gift bag designed by Landscape, including branded water bottles and cycling socks and products from Joggy. After the activities concluded, attendees enjoyed complimentary food and refreshments by Sea to Sea and Visitor.

Edge Effect

  
 Read More
About
The Edge Effect is a phenomenon describing the exponential enrichment that takes place when different ecosystems overlap with one another. When applied to innovation, these interactions provide the potential to share value, create access, and inspire new ideas.

Dialogue, proximity, interface, objects, environment, community— whether physical or digital, any exchange can bring opportunity. In these moments of interaction, we can deepen our understanding, expand our perspective, and advance our practice.

San Francisco Design Week acts as a platform to exchange ideas in service of a better world. During their annual week-long city-wide festival, they bring together a global community of designers, strategists, artists, and activists at the edge of connections yet to be made. Landscape was chosen as their design partner in order to shape the concept and campaign for 2022.
