We are very pleased to announce a new addition to our ranks! Lauren Elachi has joined the Animal Architecture team as a contributing author. Be sure to look for her posts as they come through.

Lauren is a Master of Landscape Architecture candidate at the Harvard GSD.  She received her BA in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Princeton University, and previously worked as an environmental designer in New York City.  Like everyone here at Animal Architecture, she is a lover of all animals big or small, though creatures with large ears are particularly intriguing to her.  She looks forward to sharing some new discoveries and hearing your comments!

Welcome Lauren! We’re glad to have you on board.

Ned spends most of his time wondering how our world can better support the lives within it. Musings fit for print end up here. He hopes you enjoy them.
