One of the most profound challenges of our time lies in learning how to sustainably manage ecosystems increasingly shaped by human activity. We are living through Earth’s sixth mass extinction, with the Anthropocene underscoring humanity’s role as a dominant force reshaping the planet. In this context, the design of buildings, cities, and landscapes can no longer remain peripheral. They must become vital instruments for creating habitats that sustain biodiversity.
Inspired by an unexpected yet familiar pastime and focusing on waterfront edge design, Keith Van de Riet, Associate Professor of Architecture, interweaves biomimicry, art, and science to envision, and actively pursue, a regenerative future. Join Keith for a talk that explores how architectural design can support balance between people and nature.
