Architect Magazine — “Back to Nature: A Case for Rewilding”

 

Is there a case for rewilding in architecture? In this collection of stories, ARCHITECT takes a look at what practicing with a rewilding approach might mean for architecture today. From examples of multispecies design in urban areas to a detailed guide for designing with ecosystem stability in mind, here is a snapshot of rewilding in modern practice.”

In the August 2023 issue, ARCHITECT Magazine features architecture practices and projects that advocate for rewilding and ecological restoration. Whidbey Uparati is featured as precedent for design that “lets landscapes drive the design decisions with the architecture being more about framing and putting users in connection with nature” through the use of a Ground Frame system in lieu of conventional concrete foundations and the practice of regenerating the existing ecosystem, rewilding.

Georgetown Art Attack — SITE

Each site has a unique relationship with the sun, topography, rivers, and streetscapes. We embrace these elements as guiding principles to design long-lasting buildings suited to every site’s climate, history, and culture.

Each site has a unique relationship with the sun, topography, rivers, and streetscapes. We embrace these elements as guiding principles to design long-lasting buildings suited to every site’s climate, history, and culture.

SITE is an exhibition of locations around North America where we shape buildings that speak to their surrounding ecology, weather, and natural setting. We believe that place specific architecture helps humans better understand their place in the broader web of life. Whether in cities or remote places, we all have a Right to Nature.
