Human’s Significant Effect On The Ecosystem | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Western thought conceptualizes nature and culture as distinct domains of anthropological understanding. However, as inhabitants of the Anthropocene, the human kind have significant influence on the planet’s ecosystem. Presently, nature is also culture.

In three acts, Associate Professor of Architecture, Ronald Rael will discuss the back story of topics ranging from border walls, to solar technology, and 3D printing that, when filtered though the creative process of design, results in cultural projects he views as “unnatural”.
