Course: MAA01 25/26 Design for GreenInCities Seminar
Designing Multispecies Public Space with Recycled Matter
Design for GreenInCities explores the intersection of circular construction and multispecies design through the reuse of construction and demolition waste. This seminar introduces rammed earth techniques using recycled materials to position public space as an ecological interface that supports both human and non-human life. Working within the Besòs pilot project of the GreenInCities initiative, students engage in hands-on processes of material sourcing, processing, and fabrication to develop site-responsive design proposals. Through group work, participants design and prototype public space elements that address environmental conditions such as microclimate, water collection, and material performance. Emphasizing coexistence, this seminar fosters a design approach grounded in circularity, material experimentation, and the creation of inclusive multispecies urban environments.
