- Energies and Boundaries
[AD: Energies: New Material Boundaries.]
A new issue of AD was recently published titled ENERGIES: New Material Boundaries, edited by Sean Lally of WEATHERS. This edition focuses on the rich, yet overlooked, territory of design that foregrounds the effects of material energies on boundaries of environments. Boundaries are taken to mean atmospheric thresholds that are the [...]
- Power of Ecosystems / Ecosystems of Power

Having recently endured a power outage during one of the coldest days of the year in a country that begins above the 45th parallel, we are bluntly reminded of the power of (electrical) power. There continues to be [...]
- Science Machine
[Chad Pugh\'s Science Machine.]
Science Machine from Chad Pugh.
What can be said about Pugh's video beyond itself. A universe where hair follicles and islands are similar issues at different scales… A geography at once everywhere and nowhere … A cyclical environment of managed natures… A network of habitats distinct and yet intertwined.
- Habitat Interlocks
[Josh Keyes, Interlock #3 (2006)]
Quantifying the impact of human habitats on animal habitats is complex and ever-shifting. Only when a freak incident of a bear, or wolf, or deer wander into our developed environment – and a strange tussle between fumbling law enforcement officers and a primal instinct-driven beast ensues – are we reminded on [...]
- Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS)
[A researcher deploys an Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structure, or ARMS, in Lizard Island, Australia.]
As the Census of Marine Life works towards its first comprehensive report in 2010, already a whopping 150 new species have been tallied. In a recent report, research along the Great Barrier Reef, and more specifically 3 islands, have resulted in the [...]
- Student Works: Convergent Species
[A map of select territories which have been impacted by a complex collision on the natural and the industrial.]
We will regularly be publishing student projects and thesis research titled Student Works that is an extension of themes related to infrastructures and networks of habitats and resources. The first is a project by Vivian Chin, a [...]
