- Architect Joyce Hwang looks to other species for design lessons. "Animals are incredibly smart because they are survivors," she says. Hwang's work at University of Buffalo is at the forefront of a movement to design structures for nonhuman species. She studies the ways that wildlife-birds, bees, and bats-find shelter in the built environment. "They’re not extracting resources. They’re able to work with what they have. We look at the way the animals have survived for ages and ages without causing environmental crises."
Built Ecologies: Architecture and Environment is a video series from MoMA’s Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and the Natural Environment that features prominent architects and thinkers doing innovative work across environmental topics. In each episode, these figures are invited to define the terms “architecture” and “environment,” producing a through-line between videos that otherwise capture a wide variety of practices and backgrounds.

Excellent. Love how Hwang is expansive in her practice to encompass and value our web of connections w other creatures. For too long, architects have been too focused on colonizing land inhabited by diversity of microbes, plants, insects, and animals. How can more professions support and give back to nature instead of constantly taking and destroying. As a caution, it’s important to be aware of how materials selection can negatively impact another environment. E.g., the metal used in the beehive comes from mining which is very destructive of that habitat.
Thank you for considering wildlife! Long overdue and so vital..afterall, we share this planet with them. COEXIST! Brilliant woman. 🙏🐾🦌
This how architecture can change human behaviour, attitude and inevitably our culture towards the natural environment around us. Amazing
I love seeing more of Joyce talking about the philosophy behind this kind of architecture, i just went and searched for more after seeing her in Stewart Hicks video about living with bugs! I hope this becomes a bigger trend in mainstream architecture and young people's visions for homes and public spaces
Wow! The world-and its inhabitants- need more people like Ms. Hwang
This is brilliant, I'd love to see more on this!!
I needed this level of creative imagination today
Thank you for posting
Absolutely Fantastic!! Thank You -- M🏐M Å
I'm with Cici. Very worthwhile interesting and fulfilling.
Have you looked at the natural designs of various trees? It is known as tree architecture. It has a significant role in how various species of birds, animals and insects use the trees as part of their habitat.
inclusive ( for all ) architecture is a must!
I just loooove it!
Wow, so much wisdom! Inspiring! Thank you
LOVE! More, more!
This is wonderful! A way to live together in the world we are gifted to live within. I’d love to visit the sites.
what a beautiful topic, :)
This is great
This is still a single species solution. I was hoping this was about human structure blending with the environment. I have birds living in my eves. Wasps living under my roofing. There are solitary Bees that have colonized a section of mud wall on my house. These are not by design, but I'm happy to share. I'm not to happy with the birds living over my front porch, maybe if they were potty trained, but I do like the ones living in the bushes. Bats would have places to live if we would just quit tearing out their habitat. Bees would be happy if we would quit spraying their food supply with herbicides. We don't need to build homes for wildlife we need to quit destroying the homes they have.
It would be good to make a structure that would detoxify aluminum and other harmful substances from bees to keep them from dying.
everybody happy. wow..
Genius.

Moma needs to do something about it’s stark, depressing outdoor street-facing spaces
I love the bat thing. The bee thing is stupid. Honey bees are a huge reason for the high extinction rates of native solitary bees. The native bees are much more adapted to pollinating native plants.
The bee tower she made just makes it more difficult for the solitary bees to compete.
How to design architecture for wildlife | BUILT ECOLOGIES: ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENT 1910pm 27.6.22 you have a crappily maintained home town? as for her weird installations - i'd like to see one of those built into a housing complex. maybe china, at the forefront of weird and wonderful, will put her oddness into practice...
Of course humans created a problem and while I appreciate attempts to create habitat for species we endanger simply by our existence, the most important thing we can do as a species is to reduce our population size significantly
Not a fan of the. MoMA design. Unnecessary
