POLY-SPIECES ENVIRONMENTS

Around the world, humans are fracturing vast forests. Human population growth reached exponential rates in the twentieth century, as humans converted increasing proportions of temperate and tropical landscapes to agriculture and animal husbandry. Today, 40% of all terrestrial landscapes have been converted for human use. In New York State, About 72% of New York’s forests are privately owned. Approximately 500,000 private forest land owners in the state to engage them in forest management decision making in a landscape context. Rather than to preserve, or cater to outside species this Architecture could demonstrate that architects could actively participate in the life around it. By directing, responding to and intervening in, to influence individual species, architecture and infrastructure can become redefined as animal players in a much larger system.
