A Design Research Project

The fact that wilderness can be literally built, like an artificial reef, is a profound one, especially in this era of ecological crisis. Wild plants and animal species are rapidly being lost due to climate change and loss of habitat, provoking some architects to craft visionary proposals that include wildlife within urban areas. What if wildlife were built into the fabric of the city? What if the city, often regarded as the antithesis of wilderness, nurtured a variety of plant and animal life in the midst of dense urban centers?

Progress Report 2.5

I have uploaded a pdf with seven images that provide some of the rationale and inspiration for this project. Each image is accompanied by a short text explaining what is relevant or compelling about that particular image.

    Family in Jamestown has been following your links and imagining the connections you're making for your project. Is there a subject area in SF or East Bay that you're looking at also? Vince and Milan were entranced by 5 tree frogs in a shallow water tank near the house. Are wondering if frogs are part of wildlife you're considering. We very much like the seed balls.
