BIO² DESIGN LAB Study Abroad
2017 - 2017
In this study abroad course, we interrogated architecture’s new relationship with nature in two geographic locations and in collaboration with two disciplines. Together, architecture and biology faculty and students from Tianjin University and the University of Minnesota sought out ways to amplify, exceed, and extend natural capacities in the development of uncommon design solutions to common architectural problems. We addressed questions such as: What unique design opportunities are possible within northern China and the middle-northern U.S., based on local ecological systems and building practices? What is the nature of interaction between conventionally distinct disciplinary territories? What transnational commonalities exist in the pursuit of hypernatural architecture? We conducted in-depth analysis and generated critical design proposals that probe the disciplinary intersections between architecture and biology in two distinct cultures. In this collaborative workshop, we were exposed to meaningful aspects of each other’s society and daily life that go beyond a typical tourist’s superficial perspective.
