DESCRIPTION:Planetary forces of habitat destruction\, such as climate chang
 e\, urban sprawl\, and resource extraction\, have profoundly reshaped the 
 lives of many nonhuman animals\, disrupting their migration routes and dis
 turbing their hunting\, mating\, and nesting territories. Badgering Archit
 ecture will explore how some contemporary architects are responding to the
 se dislocations through “multispecies design.” Traditionally\, archite
 cture has represented either a bulwark against animals or else\, in the ca
 se of the zoo and the barn\, as a mechanism for their instrumental use. On
  the contrary\, recent explorations within multispecies design figure anim
 als\, not as threats or property\, but as clients and co-designers\, even 
 neighbors. Thus a panoply of architectural technologies has emerged that i
 nvites urban wildlife to dwell alongside humans within the built environme
 nt\, from “bird-safe” glass to habitable masonry\, walls\, and other a
 rtificial habitats.\n\nThis interdisciplinary symposium will bring togethe
 r experts in architecture\, landscape architecture\, history\, and anthrop
 ology to discuss how these endeavors are transforming cultural categories 
 of space and species. Through a trio of panels on current practices\, hist
 orical precedents\, and pedagogical methods\, this international group of 
 participants will ask how multispecies design enacts new forms of human an
 d animal relation. By “badgering” architecture – pestering the disci
 pline’s orthodox orientation to humans – Badgering Architecture aims t
 o deepen our understanding of the ways that space speciates\, organizing t
 he possibilities and impossibilities of co-habitation with other beings.\n
 \nInvited speakers will include Joyce Hwang (University of Buffalo)\, Ned 
 Dodington (Expanded Environment)\, Paul Dobraszczyk (University College Lo
 ndon)\, Sean Weiss (The City College of New York)\, José Ibarra (Universi
 ty of Colorado\, Denver)\, Roxi Thoren (The Pennsylvania State University)
 \, and Claire Zimmerman (University of Toronto).
