A Structured Disconnection

A Structured Disconnection

Technology and capitalism have taught humanity to see nature as peripheral — something to monetize rather than sustain. This thesis reprograms architecture as a tool for reconnection: revealing hidden natural systems, blurring the boundary between humanity and environment, and integrating non-human subjects to de-center human subjectivity. The goal is to rebuild an enduring, intuitive relationship with the natural world.
