This project examines how the work of anthropologist and cybernetician Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) might contribute an alternative frame of action to navigate this challenge.
The project brings together scholars who are currently working with different aspects of Bateson’s work in architecture and design in Germany and the United Kingdom, affording a significantly broader engagement with this question.
What forms of thinking and acting can work through the particular complexities of environmental crises in the contexts of design and architecture, bridging between rich ecological ideas and the practical challenges of concrete situations?

Social and ecological transformation requires design and architecture fields to develop new, more expansive ways of thinking and acting that better engage questions of ecology.

The core team uses the contexts of their research and the scholarly engagements these engender as sites of experimentation in the kinds of relational and transcontextual methodologies found in Bateson’s work.
