The SCAPE / Design for the Anthropocene Era exhibition threads together three SCAPE projects illustrating the joint natural and human habitats generated by new construction and earth work. It is vital to expand architecture beyond “design for us,” or beyond a built environment conceived exclusively for human consumption and comfort, to address the wider global ecosystem as a shared space for all species. Urban design can be recast as a form of new, activist, joint urban and environmental stewardship in order to manage biodiversity and begin to reverse the trajectories of mass extinction on a hot, crowded planet.
