Master of Architecture (Professional) Thesis - 593
This design led thesis investigates speculative architectural artefacts in the Anthropocene — an era when humanity has such an influence on the earth that the geological and ecological repercussions will be detectable indefinitely into the future. The investigation speculates how philosophy, system theory and ecocentrism may address key symptoms of the Anthropocene such as anthropogenic waste and anthropocentrism. It explores a dilation in physical and temporal scales, through an architecture that is responsive to a contexts at a planetary scale, spanning epochs.
