We’re interested in the ways that nature and the built environment shape each other – and the research and innovative practices that are driving us to develop more resilient cities that incorporate natural elements.

 

Why "Remarkable Objects"? Trees, plants, and other natural elements are amazing. They transform sunlight into energy, make people calmer and happier, clean our air and water, and provide food to living things (including us).

 

An “object” isn’t just a thing, though, it’s also a goal – the object of Blackjack is to get 21. The object of a newspaper is to report on significant events. And the object of our guests is to influence the way we think about, design, and build the urban environment. Remarkable indeed.
