Ecological Interactions: Observing Place and Designing Regenerative Systems

How can a deeper understanding of ecological processes, human traditions, and technological systems inspire architecture that actively regenerates its environment? In Ecological Interactions, students investigate landscapes as interconnected living systems, using field observation, environmental monitoring, digital technologies, and biological indicators to understand the relationships between organisms, human activities, and their surroundings. Through this research, students develop architectural and landscape interventions that respond to ecological change, restore habitats, and establish new relationships between nature, technology, and human livelihoods.
