Living Systems - exploring the potentials of a more-than-human future

Activity: Service and engagementPublic lecture, debate or seminar

Description

We are not alone on this planet, yet the impact of a human attempt to exert control over nature has become clear in the form of the climate crisis. Diminishing resources and rapid species extinction – for which humans are almost exclusively accountable – present unprecedented global challenges resulting in a serious biodiversity crisis.
Can architecture explore the potentials of a more-than-human future?
By challenging the conventional understandings of architecture as a human-centred practice we are able to blur the boundary between human, animal and plant life and reflect on our relationship to nature and the symbiotic interdependence that underpins all life on earth.
