As awareness about the environmental footprint of construction and the “mitigation” of its associated toxicities increases, transitions to other forms of building may connect to materials from intertidal origin that can also contribute to addressing the broken food chain. The lecture will discuss tidal zones as liminal spaces, as well as how different ingredients and materials can advance an architecture for the tidal commons.

The lecture will take place at the GSD Gund Hall Piper Auditorium on March 5 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. EST.
