So, as the little prince described it to me, I have made a drawing of that planet. I do not much like to take the tone of a moralist. But the danger of the baobabs is so little understood, and such considerable risks would be run by anyone who might get lost on an asteroid, […]

Every species is in a state of constant evolution. Humans are an interesting species as we evolve not just physically but also technologically. We live in symbiosis with countless other species and cells yet we have never tried to communicate through them. A New language could be established through architecture. The bottom bread spends his […]
One of the very first pages of the Geologic Now PDF has a string of phrases across the page. One reads “Design for an Infinite Quarantine”. In the context of the readings, I realized that we are the infectious disease and it is the earth that needs to be protected. Over the time humans have […]
What defines the boundary between a network of life and systems that is one organism and the greater network in which that organism lives? In our discussion last Wednesday, it was mentioned that “I” is sort of superficial because “I” (referring to a single human body) is actually referring to a combination of systems […]
“The more you can change, the more you can adapt. Adaptation is fitness, adaptation is survival. It’s deeper than intelligence, deeper than tissue; it is cellular, it is axiomatic.” The Thing, Peter Watts There have been many assumptions about what the future has in store for us and how to plan for such situations. However, […]
[“at the onset of a process of self-organization…the mechanisms become extremely sensitive to minor fluctuations in the environment…”naturally selecting” one assembly pattern over another” -Manuel DeLanda, Nonorganic Life ] Many of our networks can be described as “alive” because, while they are not made of biological tissue, they have become so complex, that the […]
A constant in history is the displacement and the movement of populations across the planet. Whether it is because of famine, drought, war, disease, and even environment disasters, humans have been traversing the face of the planet since the beginning. Most recently because of civil warfare in Syria that began in March 2011 the number […]
Pet Architecture- Animals have better instincts such as anticipating danger, finding water and food, etc. How can they be used for architecture, resources, survival- in extreme locations or after extreme disasters? Which species would be useful for resource gathering, and which for post-colonization equilibrium maintenance within the new ecosystem? Dune– “Movement across the landscape is a necessity […]
