How can the constructed environment work more harmoniously with natural forces? Students in this Advanced Architectural Design studio at the University of Oregon’s Portland are exploring individual questions around this theme. Each student has defined a site and program to investigate BioSynergies at both the Macro urban scale and the Micro material scale. Students have been asked to document and reflect on work-in-progress as well as share relevant research. See the 585f10_course_desc and the Fall’10 and Winter’11 syllabi for more information.
