who we are
Office
of Living Things is a landscape research and design collective that uses the
tools of landscape architecture to cultivate a culture of attention to the
agencies, propensities, and complexities of living things. Through a
methodology that intentionally muddies our own collective practices with the
assemblages we find in our projects, we translate, draw, re-tell and re-invent
stories at the intersections of nature and culture. Our research, fieldwork,
and design emphasize direct engagement with site and community through a practice
of radical listening--being outside, flexible, mobile, and open.

AGRICULTURAL URBANISM RESEARCH
In collaboration with Teresa Galí-Izard.
2018
This research project investigated the potential of logics grounded in regenerative agriculture to define new patterns of urbanization. It was a portion of a larger project focused on Chinese new cities conducted by the Office for Urbanization at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Our contribution focused on the design of soil through agricultural practices to create new urban structures.
Research funded through the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
