This design studio explores the post natural environments we now inhabit and asks how we might design ways of paying better attention to their shifting dynamics. Through a series of projects that engage with digital technologies, we will probe opportunities to amplify our daily environmental encounters and ecological entanglements. Course readings will introduce different theoretical concepts of the environment and probe our relationship to it, as well as offer a range of perspectives on what it means to live in an era shaped by human disturbance. We will work with environmental data, explore collections and develop experimental interfaces.
