Historic light-frame meets high-tech mass timber in the (nearly) all-wood prefabricated Ecology School in Maine. Its super-sustainable design matches the school's purpose of providing hands-on, experiential ecological learning. Learn more in our latest project profile.

36. Industrial ecology and green design P478
In essence, engineering is concerned with the creation of products and processes.
With its focus of system-wide resource flows, industrial ecology is a major source of such approaches.

One of the main goals of Dr Nico Tillie, head of the Urban Ecology Design group, is to provide more space for nature on the TU Delft campus.
Traditionally, Urban Ecology has been dominated by biologists, Nico explains. "But during the past decade or so, it has become increasingly clear that this research area benefits enormously from visions from other fields, such as landscape architecture or urban planning. They can give a more practical interpretation to the ideas from Urban Ecology."
One of the main projects undertaken by Nico and his team is ECOCampus. It serves a double purpose: making the campus a nicer place for people and creating links in Delft's ecological web.

In two weeks on Wednesday the 22nd of November, the INTI (International New Town Institute) is organising its yearly International New Town Day, in collaboration with the Independent School for the City. This year the symposium is focused on the future of green heritage.
Green plays an important role in both the original planning and the current transformation tasks of the New Towns. The current green task focuses mainly on the climatological impact on our living environment and health. It involves encouraging biodiversity, combating heat stress, preventing flooding and stimulating health. At the same time the New Towns were originally designed as green towns, with ideas on ecology and use of (collective) space. But what do we know about these approaches? What were the original ideas on design, use and ecology of Green space in the New Towns from the 70s and 80? The central question of the day is: How do we deal with the notions of greenery, public spaces, ecology and heritage in the context of Post-65 New Towns?
The symposium takes place on Wednesday 22 November from 12:30 till 18:00. Participation is free but reservations are required. Register your spot here https://lnkd.in/eVq8tW3Z
We've all seen movies and artwork depicting futuristic green cities with towering buildings and cascading vegetated rooftops that seem to defy reality, but reality may be closer than you think! 🌳🏢 The popularity of green rooftops and urban agriculture is gaining momentum given the enormous benefits to ecosystem services and the aesthetic values they provide. In fact, many cities are beginning to mandate green rooftops for new development.
In our latest blog, Associate Ecologist Daniel Marsden explores the rise of green rooftops, their many ecological benefits, and Great Ecology's unique work on one of the largest green roof projects in North America!

The coalescence of ecology, agriculture, conservation biology, and architecture is an evolving interest of mine.
I dream of harmonious landscapes that foster biodiversity of wildlife, native species, thriving ecosystems, and human connection to place.
I dream of work so that I may design with beauty and functionality combined.
This TEDx Talk wonderfully articulated a version of that dream.
I admire the multidisciplinary approach to solutions on how to restore and beyond that, regenerate a landscape with respect to its deep cultural and biological ties. A project involving this level of stewardship and scale requires a thoughtful understanding of the complex ecological systems. The hard work and patience needed to implement solutions, collect data, interpret findings, and then document in such a way that enriches people is fascinating.
It is inspiring to see this type of future thinking towards the broader ecological context. This presentation on restoration has restored me!
I hope to one day be a part of an integrated stewarding project like this, blending my passion for environmental design, science, and art.
