The Architecture of Ecology
Barry Wark explores architecture as a materially dynamic, ecocentric practice, conceiving buildings as assemblies of parts designed to weather, change, and be replaced over time. His projects use computational design and circular material strategies to foreground weathering as an active design force, allowing buildings to register their connection to the environment and create ambiguity between what is made and what emerges through climate and use. This lecture introduces recent work from his practice, showing how parts-based tectonics and ecocentric aesthetics can reshape contemporary environmental architecture.
