| Summary: | Ecological Entanglement aims at designing an urban architectural landscape along St Paul St, in Auckland's Learning Quarter, that resides within frameworks of ecological entanglement. Philosopher Timothy Morton, describes 'Ecological Entanglement' as the web of connections that exists between every living organism on the planet, emphasizing the cause and effect of every action performed by any species upon others. Alongside Ecological Entanglement, Felix Guattari, a psychoanalyst, places emphasis on what he terms 'the transversal'. As Guattari explains, we must think transversally to understand the role of all factors, the social, individual and environmental, within an ecosystem in order to recognize the effects of certain relations. Applying these frameworks or methods, the final design of my project will reside within an ecological urbanism, appealing to ecological entanglement and transversal thinking, through considerations of all ecosystems and ecologies existing in an urban site and how they coexist. The project will consider the provision of architectures for human and non-humans alongside the generation of energy, urban agriculture and native habitat restoration. |
