Building an Urban Wilderness: Presentation Tomorrow, July 21st

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?

Presentation Tomorrow, July 21st

I will be presenting the results of the last 4 weeks tomorrow, July 21st, at 4:30pm, Room 901, in Wurster Hall. You can download a presentation brief in doc format here, or in pdf format here.

If you have been wondering why I haven't posted anything in the past couple of weeks, it is because I have been rushing to put together materials for this presentation. On Thursday morning I will post a lot of what I present tomorrow.
