Plenary Session Becoming More-Than-Human

Sediments, sea-level rise, and more-than-human life are reshaping how territories are formed, inhabited, and maintained. Bringing together research-by-design, experimental workshops, and critical reflection, this plenary addresses architecture’s role within dynamic coastal and urban ecologies.
