WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

This webinar explores how architectural design can foster beneficial relationships between humans and pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, which play a critical role in ecosystems. It examines the importance of designing spaces that go beyond human needs, integrating habitats for insects to promote biodiversity and environmental balance. Participants will learn about practical approaches to creating shared spaces that support both human activity and ecological health. By understanding green spaces, pollinator habitats, and more-than-human inclusive designs, students can develop skills to create sustainable, resilient environments that address climate challenges and enhance the connection between architecture and nature.
