The Stuckeman School is excited to announce a groundbreaking research symposium titled “Biophilia: Designing for Animals.” This event will explore the critical role of animals in design and how our built and natural environments are shaped by more-than-human participants.
The symposium will connect with the international exhibition, "Tres Comunidades, Un Río: Life within Peru’s urban Amazonian floodplains." The result of a collaborative research and advocacy project involving Peruvian and U.S. ecologists, photographers, landscape architects, social scientists, public health researchers, and community members, "Tres Comunidades, Un Río" reveals stories of relocation, biodiversity, One Health, connections to nature, and strength of community of those humans and animals under threat in the urbanizing Amazon Rainforest.
