We were very excited to read JuanRamon Rubio’s article in Texas Architect Magazine which amplifies the call for increased human/animal collaboration in the built environment. The article features key examples of increased animal interactions in urban settings which could be avoided or shaped more fully with intentional, animal-centric design.
Also noteworthy, JuanRamon features works by Joyce Hwang, AIA and Sarah Gunawan, both of whom have contributed extensively to the field of non-human design and of course, to The Expanded Environment.
