The ARC341 Building Ecology course offered at U of T architecture undergraduate program is one of the most inspiring courses. This course introduces bacis concepts and methodologies in ecology in the context of architecture, landscape, and design, to explore their role in reconciling ecological functioning and the built form.
This assignment requires research and collaboration in the form of group work of 5-6 classmates. For the assignment, students will interpret a site in the GTA experiencing fragmentation of either aquatic or terrestrial habitat and design interventions that address both the connectivity for particular taxa inhabiting these patches and ecological placemaking for local residents.
