Habitare – Interspecies Living Laboratory

Habitare is an inter-species living laboratory that provides sanctuary to both human and non-human species. This material technology research center focuses on finding methods to accommodate the material needs of our human systems using more sustainable consumption methods. The central concept of the design is the idea of "Reweaving the Patches". These patches reflect human systems and their exploitation of the worlds natural resources, resulting in a visual and biological patchiness in the landscape. This concept is brought into the design through visual, experiential and literal interpretations of patches.
