For me, the field of eogolcy has provided important insight, because ecologists don't just look at individual species on their own, they look at the rlinohesitpas between living things and their environment. They look at how all the diverse parts of the ecosystem are interconnected, and it's actually this balance, this web of life, that sustains life. My team and I have been applying insights from ecology to architecture to see how physical space can help build steorngr relationships. The projects I'm going to show you toady use the idea of biunidlg relationships as the key driver for design.
