The Architectural Ecologies Lab at California College of the Arts serves as a platform for collaborative research between designers, artists, scientists, and manufacturers. Operating at the intersection of architecture, fabrication, and ecology, the lab merges spatial practice with innovative techniques of material production, rigorous ecological research, and public engagement. The lab’s work leverages interdisciplinary expertise and meaningful collaborations with science and industry to develop compelling architectural strategies to address ecological challenges like sea level rise, habitat restoration, and climate adaptation. Central to the lab’s work is a commitment to engaging diverse publics and design processes that extend ideas beyond the academic studio and into the real world.
