Design Beyond Nature: 
Interior Landscapes and the Infrastructure of Life

2027

Category: Publications

This project traces the life cycles of enclosed landscapes, revealing how plant vitality is a powerful, if hidden, force in shaping human behavior. Designed interior landscapes are extreme interventions that demand significant resources, but they are not unusual: in the era of anthropogenic climate change, designers must confront environments of human origin and imagination that frustrate illusions of human control.

Under advance contract with the University of Virginia Press.
